Vanuatu Population Pyramid 2100
Vanuatu in 2100
In 2100, Vanuatu is projected to have a population of 875,478 people. Compared with 2090, when the projection stands at 824,564, that represents growth of 6.2% over ten years.
With a projected median age of 37.0 years, Vanuatu would have a youth dependency ratio of 32.9 and an old-age dependency ratio of 27.3 per 100 people of working age. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
