Turkmenistan Population Pyramid 2028
Turkmenistan in 2028
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Turkmenistan at 7,951,287 in 2028. Compared with 2018, when the projection stands at 6,655,524, that represents growth of 19.5% over ten years.
The median age is projected at 28.8 years, with 46.0 children under 15 and 8.7 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). 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.
