Asia · Southern Asia
Nepal is recorded at 29.65m people in 2024, with total annual change of -45,791 under the WPP medium variant.
Nepal observed 2023 population pyramid, grouped into five broad age bands from WPP single-age male and female arrays.
Population identity: births minus deaths plus net migration equals total change within the Record tolerance.
