Demographic Profiles

Every country has a demographic fingerprint — a distinct combination of how its population is distributed by age, how mortality varies across the lifespan, and where childbearing is concentrated. This visualization brings those three dimensions together in a single interactive profile, letting you explore and compare countries across the world.<br>The upper two arms show the population pyramid (left) and mortality profile (right), each broken down by age group and sex. The lower arm shows the fertility distribution — the share of childbearing occurring within each five-year age bracket. A timeline slider lets you step through snapshots at ten-year intervals from 1953 to 2023.<br>Data Source<br>All demographic data comes from the United Nations World Population Prospects 2024, published by the Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA).<br>United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division (2024).
