Population pyramids by country, 1950–2100

Search 237 countries and areas. Every profile includes the same comparable UN series, age-by-sex table, and estimate/projection boundary.

Estimate or projection?

The UN series provides historical estimates through 2023. Figures from 2024 onward—including 2026—are medium-scenario projections, not counts or predictions guaranteed to occur.

What each country profile includes

Each profile combines a population pyramid with an age-by-sex table, demographic indicators, and a population trend. The chart steps through every five years from 1950 to 2100 with a play button and an outline overlay for comparing two years, and each profile adds births, deaths, migration, life expectancy, and the most similar age structures. Historical estimates end in 2023; later years use the UN medium projection.

The age table beneath the chart gives 2026 counts and shares for every five-year band, plus ages 100 and older. Download the country CSV for exact values in the other chart years. Changing the chart year does not change the page’s labelled 2026 headline statistics.

Nigeria and Japan illustrate the difference between a child-heavy and an older age structure. India and China allow you to compare two large populations. The worked country examples explain what to look for and what the shape alone cannot establish.

To compare a particular measure across the whole dataset, use the country rankings. For a custom age range, use the age-group calculator.
