The current population of Bangladesh is 174.77 million as of Thursday, July 18, 2024, based on Worldometer's elaboration of the latest United Nations data. Bangladesh is the eighth most populous country in the world, with almost 2% of the world's population. As per the final results of the 2022 Census of Bangladesh, the population density in 2023 is 1,329 people per square kilometer (3,441 people per square mile), calculated on a total land area of 130,170 square kilometers (50,259 square miles).
The United Nations Population Division estimates that Bangladesh's population will continue to grow in the coming years, reaching 193.9 million by 2030 and 215.1 million by 2050. This growth is due to a number of factors, including a high birth rate and a relatively low death rate.
The rapid population growth in Bangladesh has created a number of challenges for the country, including poverty, unemployment, and environmental degradation. The government of Bangladesh is working to address these challenges through a variety of programs and policies, including family planning, education, and infrastructure development.
