Tajikistan Population Pyramid 2035
Tajikistan in 2035
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Tajikistan at 12,695,584 in 2035. Compared with 2025, when the projection stands at 10,786,734, that represents growth of 17.7% over ten years.
With a projected median age of 24.7 years, Tajikistan would have a youth dependency ratio of 48.6 and an old-age dependency ratio of 9.3 per 100 people of working age. This is an expansive pyramid — each cohort of children is larger than the one above it, the signature of high birth rates and rapid growth.
