We visualize the world’s oldest and youngest countries by median age, based on 2024 estimates from the CIA World Factbook.
ℹ️ The median age is a single indicator of the age distribution of a population—where half the population is older and half is younger than the listed age.
It can help government and private companies plan for age-specific demand for goods and services from the resident population.
