Via Voronoi, a graphical look at the world’s oldest and youngest countries by median age, per 2024 estimates from the CIA World Factbook:
Key Takeaways
Monaco and Japan—two countries with high life expectancies and low birth rates—have some of the highest median ages (50+) in the world, indicating that the population as a whole is rapidly aging.
Conversely, many countries in Africa have lower life expectancies and higher birth rates, which results in the opposite phenomenon of low median ages.
