About this chart

The UN projects Bangladesh to reach 208.60 million people in 2100, above its 2023 estimate of 171.47 million. At the estimated endpoint, Bangladesh has 171.47 million people against 100.35 million for Vietnam. In 1950, the corresponding totals were 41.21 million for Bangladesh and 25.10 million for Vietnam. All values are population totals, rather than population density or annual growth rates.

By 2100, the UN medium-variant projection reaches 208.60 million people for Bangladesh and 91.71 million for Vietnam. Estimates end in 2023; later values are conditional projections rather than observed counts. Future fertility, mortality and migration can move the eventual totals away from this path. Comparing the same projection variant keeps the two countries on a consistent basis.
