Studies project that Iran's rate of population growth will continue to slow until it stabilises above 100 million by 2050. [4] [5] Half of Iran's population was under 35 years old in 2012. [6] As of January 2025, the average age of the Iranian population is 32 years. [7]
It is the only index associated with the age distribution of a population. [1] Currently, the median age ranges from a low of about 18 or less in most Least Developed countries to 40 or more in most European countries, Canada, Cuba, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand.
The population is divided into three groups: Ages 0 to 14 years: children. Ages 15 to 64 years: working population or adults. Over the age of 65: elderly, senior citizens. The age structure of a country has a strong impact on society and the economy. If the proportion of 0–14-year-olds is very high, there may be a so-called youth bulge. If ...
With a multi-ethnic population of about 86 million in an area of 1,648,195 km 2 (636,372 sq mi), Iran ranks 17th globally in both geographic size and population. [3] [8] It is the sixth-largest country entirely in Asia and one of the world's most mountainous countries. Officially an Islamic republic, Iran has a Muslim-majority population.
In 2010, the most prominent age range found was between 15 and 59 for the three main religious groups. For Muslims the median age is 23 years old, representing the youngest religious groups. By contrast, the median age for the Jewish population is 32, being the oldest religious group.
Only countries with populations over 50,000 are listed. Due to this criterion, the table does not include such countries as Monaco (LE 86.37 years, population 39,000), San Marino (LE 85.71 years, population 34,000), and Saint Barthélemy (LE 84.29 years, population 11,000). The values are rounded, all calculations were done on raw data.
91% of adult population (age 15 & above) is literate; Total illiteracy rate of 6.2% of population in 2002 improving from 52.5% in 1976 [40] Total literacy rate (age 6 & above): 92.7% in 2002; [13] More info: Functional illiteracy & Aliteracy, Scientific literacy & School leaving age
Population genomic PCA, showing the CIC (Central Iranian cluster) among other worldwide samples. Recent population genomic studies found that the genetic structure of Iranian peoples formed already about 5,000 years ago and show high continuity since then, suggesting that they were largely unaffected by migration events from outside groups.
