[–] vlyan 6d ago ↗ idk about Uganda, but some of the other estimates on that website are wildly inaccurate. [–] frasermarlow 6d ago ↗ In what way? [–] vlyan 6d ago ↗ https://www.populationpyramid.net/ukraine/2026/40M is grossly overestimated. even UA officials admit it's closer to 20M now.https://www.populationpyramid.net/russian-federation/2026/the projected 127M in 2100 makes no sense given that we had TFR<1.5 even before COVID. it's likely <1.2 now, and it will only decline. [–] frasermarlow 5d ago ↗ Interesting. Yep, I guess the projections did not forecast a protracted military conflict. Although the dent in the population of Ukraine is telling.Thanks for sharing.

[–] gus_massa 4d ago ↗ Is there something unusual? Perhaps the mortality rate is too high, but I don't see anything weird.Also, it looks like they are projecting is a decrease of the share of the sub 15 population. Is there any reason for that? [–] frasermarlow 11m ago ↗ What is wild is comparing the distribution in some of these countries. Try Uganda: https://www.populationpyramid.net/uganda/2026/ vs Bulgaria: https://www.populationpyramid.net/bulgaria/2026/ or Japan: https://www.populationpyramid.net/japan/2026/ ... and you see why any remaining expansion in the human population will come from Africa. Israel is an interesting exception to the rule: https://www.populationpyramid.net/israel/2026/
