Southern Asia in 2016

In 2016, Southern Asia had a total population of 1,894,465,345 people. A decade earlier, in 2006, the population was 1,645,686,881; it has grown by 15.1% since. The median age was 25.7 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 46.2 children under 15 and 8.3 people aged 65 or over. The near-vertical sides of the pyramid indicate a stationary age structure, with births roughly balancing the passage of cohorts into older age.
