Azerbaijan in numbers
10,318,207 people lived in Azerbaijan in mid-2023: 0.13% of the world's people, and the 94th-largest population of the 236 countries and areas the UN reports. That is 3.3 times its 1950 population of 3.1 million.
The UN's medium projection has it peaking in 2050 at 11.2 million, then falling to 10.0 million by 2100. The projection is uncertain: on 1 January 2100 the UN's 95% range runs from 5.5 million to 15.1 million.
The medium projection has deaths passing births in 2049 and staying above them from then on. The population still grows until 2050, because more people arrive than leave.
The median age was 21.2 in 1950 and 33.6 in 2023; the projection has 47.0 in 2100. 8.0% of people were 65 or older in 2023, against 27.9% projected for 2100. The working-age population (15–64) is projected to peak in 2039 at 7.6 million.
Its place in the world by population: 94th in 2023, 94th in 2050, 100th in 2100. In the medium projection it overtakes Portugal in 2026, Czechia in 2027 and Cuba in 2031. It is overtaken by Togo in 2030, Israel in 2036 and Sierra Leone in 2038.

AZE · 1950–2100 · every age, every year
Azerbaijan, 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.
AZE · ages 15–64
Who does the work in Azerbaijan
On the UN's projection, Azerbaijan will have the most working-age people it ever has in 2039: 7,553,140 people aged 15–64. In 2023 it had 7,186,120.
aged 15–64 children under 15 aged 65 and over
How to read this: take 100 people of working age — the orange row — and the two rows under it are the children (teal) and the people of 65 and over (violet) who lived alongside them in 2023.
Fewer than 50 dependants live alongside every 100 people aged 15–64 in 43 years: 2003–2045.
fewer than 50 dependants per 100 the same, projected 50 or more
How to read this: one stripe a year from 1950 to 2100. A stripe takes colour in a year when fewer than 50 dependants live alongside every 100 people of working age, and stays grey otherwise; hatching means the year is projected.
AZE · arrivals minus departures
Who arrives in Azerbaijan, and who leaves
In 2020–2025 Azerbaijan loses 11,640 people a year: everyone who arrives, minus everyone who leaves. The age at which that happens most is 20–24, at 2,348 a year more arriving than leaving.
more arrive than leave more leave than arrive
How to read this: age runs left to right, babies to 100. A blue square above the line means arrivals outnumber departures at that age, an orange square below it means the opposite. The figures are the UN's projection for 2020–2025; nobody recorded migration by age before 2020.
Across the counted years, 1950 to 2023, its biggest single-year gain was 42,667 (1996); its biggest loss, 101,986 (1989).
In 2024, 218,460 people living in Azerbaijan had been born in another country, 2 of every 100 people there, against 6 in 1990.

Years in good health in Azerbaijan
A baby born in Azerbaijan in 2021 could expect 72.9 years of life, 64.0 of them in full health (95% range 63.4–64.8). That leaves 8.9 years in less than full health, fewer than the world's 9.5, even though lives here are longer than the world's 71.4 years.
65.0 in full health, 10.2 not: 75.2 years
63.0 in full health, 7.5 not: 70.5 years
a year in full health a year in less than full health
How to read this: each square is a year of life, each row ten years; filled squares are years in full health, rounded to whole years.
Women: 65.0 healthy years of 75.2. Men: 63.0 of 70.5. In 2019, before the pandemic, the healthy years were 66.6.

Displacement in Azerbaijan
At the end of 2025, 657,155 people were displaced inside Azerbaijan, about 63 of every 1,000 people living there.
- hosted from abroad6,588
- displaced inside it657,155
- Azerbaijan nationals abroad137,225

How to read this: one square stands for 20,000 people, so the rows can be compared with one another. The last row is people from Azerbaijan living in another country, wherever they are. An outlined square means fewer people than one square stands for.
In 2025, 29 people asked for asylum in Azerbaijan for the first time; 3,274 people from Azerbaijan asked for asylum in another country. Of every 100 people from Azerbaijan whose claims were decided that year, 16 were given protection. Who asks for asylum, and who is given it

How people live in Azerbaijan
Of every 100 people in Azerbaijan in 2025, 41 lived in a city, 38 in a town or suburb and 21 in the countryside.

Nearly everyone has electricity at home (2024). 9.6 of every 100 do not use the internet (2024).
How to read this: everyone here, shrunk to 100 squares, with the colour saying whether that hundredth person lives in a city, a town or the countryside. Every country is measured by the same rule.
AZE · adults 25 and over · 2020
How far people in Azerbaijan went in school
Almost every adult in Azerbaijan went to school: of every 100 in 2020, 89 finished upper secondary or went further.

Its people aged 15 to 64 are projected to be most numerous in 2035; the ones who finished upper secondary are most numerous later, in 2040.
How to read this: 100 squares, one for every hundredth adult aged 25 or over, from least schooling on the left to most on the right. Counted by the Wittgenstein Centre for 2020.
