Changing Median Age of Population in Cambodia (2000-2030)

Cambodia's median age has steadily increased from 17.0 in 2000 to a projected 27.1 by 2030, reflecting the country’s transition from a post-conflict society to a more stable and developing economy. This demographic change is partly a result of Cambodia's growing urbanization, access to education, and gradual economic growth. While the youthful population still dominates, the shift suggests a maturing workforce, bringing opportunities but also challenges such as future demands on social services and the need for sustainable job creation. This evolving age structure mirrors Cambodia's efforts to recover and modernize after decades of instability.
