Qatar Population Pyramid (1950–2100)
Qatar in 2026
In 2026, Qatar has an estimated population of 3,173,560 people. A decade earlier, in 2016, the population was 2,599,372; it has grown by 22.1% since.
The median age is 34.4 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there are 18.0 children under 15 and 2.1 people aged 65 or over. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
