Young population in the Marshall Islands

This indicator measures the share of the population aged under 15 within the resident population.
As a primary metric for the "base" of the demographic pyramid, it captures the size of the youngest cohort and is fundamentally driven by fertility rates. This share determines the immediate demand for education and pediatric healthcare while shaping the long-term sustainability of the economy. It is an important indicator of future labor force potential, representing the next generation of workers, innovators, and consumers who will eventually drive economic activity.
