What drives population change?
Births and deaths set natural change. Net migration can reinforce, reduce, or reverse that direction.
Migration contribution Reduces growth
Negative net migration slows natural growth without reversing it.
Djibouti, 2024 projected: natural change +15,712 people, net migration −11, WPP adjustment −1, total population change +15,700. Negative net migration slows natural growth without reversing it.
Natural change +15,712 births minus deaths
+ Net migration −11 net balance
≈ Total change +15,700 people per year
Exact reconciliation: WPP includes a −1-person statistical adjustment. Figures are rounded to whole people.

AGE BALANCE · 1950–2100
Youth and older population
Annual share of the population aged under 18 and aged 65+. The crossing shows when the older group first becomes larger in the annual source series.
- First annual crossover
- Not reached by 2100
- Rule
- 65+ strictly exceeds under 18
Djibouti annual age balance from 1950 to 2100. Under-18 population moves from 53.1% in 1950 to 35.6% in 2023 and 21.3% in the 2100 projection. Population aged 65 and older moves from 2.0% to 4.7% and 19.2%. First annual crossover: Not reached by 2100. Estimates run through 2023 and WPP Medium projections begin in 2024.
