Analysis# Bangladesh Population Analysis
Bangladesh's population of 173.6 million places it eighth globally, supported by a 9.87% growth rate over the past decade that translates to approximately 15.6 million additional residents since 2014. The nation's demographic trajectory shows significant deceleration from its peak growth period in the 1960s, when decadal increases exceeded 30%, indicating the impact of family planning initiatives and rising female education levels. Despite 64 years of data, Bangladesh remains one of the world's most densely populated countries, with this moderate recent growth rate suggesting stabilization in fertility patterns rather than explosive expansion.
