Iran Median age

Factbook > Countries > Iran > Demographics

Median age: total: 31.7 years

male: 31.5 years

female: 32 years (2020 est.)

Definition: This entry is the age that divides a population into two numerically equal groups; that is, half the people are younger than this age and half are older. It is a single index that summarizes the age distribution of a population. Currently, the median age ranges from a low of about 15 in Niger and Uganda to 40 or more in several European countries and Japan. See the entry for "Age structure" for the importance of a young versus an older age structure and, by implication, a low versus a higher median age.
