Asia in numbers

The UN counts 4,778,004,486 people in Asia in mid-2023, and 59.0% of the world's people. That is 3.5 times its 1950 population of 1.37 billion. It covers 51 countries and areas; the largest are India (30.1%), China (29.8%), Indonesia (5.9%), Pakistan (5.2%) and Bangladesh (3.6%).

The UN's medium projection has it peaking in 2054 at 5.29 billion, then falling to 4.61 billion by 2100.

In the medium projection, deaths outnumber births every year from 2055 on.

The median age was 21.6 in 1950 and 32.7 in 2023; the projection has 47.8 in 2100. 9.8% of people were 65 or older in 2023, against 28.9% projected for 2100. The working-age population (15–64) is projected to peak in 2036 at 3.43 billion.

AGG · 1950–2100 · every age, every year

Asia, every age in every year

Each column is a year and each row an age; the denser the ink in a cell, the more people. Everyone born in the same year climbs one 45° diagonal, so famines, baby booms and migration show up as streaks. Select a cell to follow its generation.

AGG · ages 15–64

Who does the work in Asia

On the UN's projection, Asia will have the most working-age people it ever has in 2036: 3,425,070,000 people aged 15–64. In 2023 it had 3,210,810,000.

100 aged 15–64

aged 15–64 children under 15 aged 65 and over

How to read this: the orange squares are 100 people aged 15–64 in 2023, and the rows below are how many children (teal) and how many people aged 65 or older (violet) lived alongside them.

Fewer than 50 dependants live alongside every 100 people aged 15–64 in 29 years: 2009–2037.

fewer than 50 dependants per 100 the same, projected 50 or more

How to read this: the strip runs 1950 to 2100. Coloured years are the ones with under 50 dependants for every 100 people aged 15–64; grey years are the rest, and a hatched year has not happened yet.

How every country compares

AGG · arrivals minus departures

Who arrives in Asia, and who leaves

In 2020–2025 Asia loses 2,056,934 people a year: everyone who arrives, minus everyone who leaves. The age at which that happens most is 40–44, at 261,358 a year more leaving than arriving.

one square = 50,000 people a year

020406080+

more arrive than leave more leave than arrive

How to read this: left to right is age, from babies to 100. Blue squares above the line are ages at which more people arrive than leave; orange squares below it, ages at which more leave than arrive. These are the UN's projection for 2020–2025. There is no record of migration by age before 2020.

Its best and worst years between 1950 and 2023: a gain of 735,989 (1956), and a loss of 3,589,734 (2017).

This is a group of countries, so its figure counts only moves across its own outer edge: someone moving from one country inside it to another does not appear.

AGG · births by the mother's age · 1950–2100

Who has the babies in Asia

Of every 100 babies born in Asia in 2023, 6 had a mother under 20, 81 a mother aged 20 to 34 and 13 a mother aged 35 or older. In 1950 it was 13 under 20 and 18 aged 35 or older.
