WPP Medium projection 80% prediction interval 2024 comparison base

Comparison base. 2024 = 100 is the WPP Medium projection used as a common reference—not necessarily a population peak.

Projection boundary. These are official UN source projections with a published uncertainty range, not certainty.

“In … years” is measured from 2026. Each country’s vertical scale is set by its own WPP 80% range and printed above the chart, so countries should not be compared by bar height alone.
