Zimbabwe Population Pyramid 2081
Zimbabwe in 2081
By 2081, the population of Zimbabwe is expected to reach 34,648,029. Ten years before, in 2071, the projected population is 32,270,423 — 7.4% lower.
With a projected median age of 32.3 years, Zimbabwe would have a youth dependency ratio of 36.1 and an old-age dependency ratio of 16.5 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.
