Western Asia in 2018

In 2018, Western Asia had a total population of 279,059,091 people. A decade earlier, in 2008, the population was 224,459,753; it has grown by 24.3% since. The median age was 26.9 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 45.3 children under 15 and 8.2 people aged 65 or over. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
