Projection

Values for 2050 come from the UN World Population Prospects 2024 medium scenario. They depend on assumptions about fertility, mortality, and migration and are not forecasts guaranteed to occur.

What to notice in 2050

The widest bars sit at ages 50–54, the cohorts born around 1996–2000, above a narrow and nearly straight base. Read the full analysis of Turkey’s pyramid.
