Population Pyramids of the World from 1950 to 2100
What is a population pyramid?
A population pyramid is a chart that shows the distribution of a population by age group and sex: males on the left, females on the right, with the youngest age groups at the bottom and the oldest at the top. Its shape reveals at a glance whether a population is young and growing, ageing and shrinking, or roughly stable. Learn how to read one →
World in 2026
As of 2026, the World counts an estimated 8,300,678,396 inhabitants. A decade earlier, in 2016, the population was 7,558,554,526; it has grown by 9.8% since.
The median age is 32.1 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there are 36.9 children under 15 and 16.2 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.
