The medium projection has deaths passing births in 2081 and staying above them from then on.

The median age was 23.0 in 1950 and 29.3 in 2023; the projection has 48.4 in 2100. 9.8% of people were 65 or older in 2023, against 29.4% projected for 2100. The working-age population (15–64) is projected to peak in 2063 at 4.7 million.

Its place in the world by population: 116th in 2023, 115th in 2050, 115th in 2100. In the medium projection it overtakes Singapore in 2027, Denmark in 2030 and Bulgaria in 2034. It is overtaken by Liberia in 2027, the Central African Republic in 2028 and Oman in 2030.

Lebanon, 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.

Who does the work in Lebanon

On the UN's projection, Lebanon will have the most working-age people it ever has in 2063: 4,699,730 people aged 15–64. In 2023 it had 3,663,840.

Who arrives in Lebanon, and who leaves

In 2020–2025 Lebanon loses 27,053 people a year: everyone who arrives, minus everyone who leaves. The age at which that happens most is 20–24, at 5,169 a year more leaving than arriving.

How to read this: each column is one age, youngest on the left. Above the line, in blue, are the ages gaining people; below it, in orange, the ages losing them. This is the UN's projection for 2020–2025 — the record of migration by age does not go back beyond 2020.

Its best and worst years between 1950 and 2023: a gain of 733,500 (2013), and a loss of 266,992 (2019).

In 2024, 1,422,583 people living in Lebanon had been born in another country, 25 of every 100 people there, against 12 in 1990.

Years in good health in Lebanon

Of the 74.3 years a baby born in Lebanon in 2021 could expect, about 63.2 would be lived in full health (95% range 62.3–64.2). That leaves 11.1 years in less than full health, more than the world's 9.5: a longer life usually brings a longer stretch of illness near its end.

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: 64.4 healthy years of 77.5. Men: 62.1 of 71.3. In 2019, before the pandemic, the healthy years were 67.4.

In 2025, 1,651 people asked for asylum in Lebanon for the first time; 2,563 people from Lebanon asked for asylum in another country. Of every 100 people from Lebanon whose claims were decided that year, 28 were given protection. Who asks for asylum, and who is given it
