Western Asia Population Pyramid 2042
Western Asia in 2042
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Western Asia at 388,735,675 in 2042. Ten years before, in 2032, the projected population is 346,593,386 — 12.2% lower.
Half of the population would be younger than 31.9 years, with 23.7% children under 15 and 9.5% aged 65 or older. This is a stationary pyramid — similar numbers in each age group up to the older cohorts, the signature of near-replacement fertility.
