Yemen Population Pyramid 2047
Yemen in 2047
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Yemen at 67,438,815 in 2047. Compared with 2037, when the projection stands at 55,724,269, that represents growth of 21.0% over ten years.
The median age is projected at 24.2 years, with 50.4 children under 15 and 7.3 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.
