Median Age of the World's Population


The other day I was wondering if I'd hit the age where there were as many people younger than me in the world as older than me.

In other words, I wondered what the median age of the world's population is. Yesterday, I was talking to our Chief Marketing Officer about it and we decided to look it up.

Turns out I passed it five years ago. The median age is 28.

The source is the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs/Population Division in their World Population Prospects.
