Analysis# Cambodia Population Analysis
Cambodia's population of 17.6 million ranks 72nd globally and has grown 14.56% over the past decade, averaging approximately 1.4% annual growth. The nation experienced its peak growth during the 1995s decade, likely reflecting post-Khmer Rouge recovery and high fertility rates following the 1979-1989 Vietnamese occupation and subsequent stabilization. Since peaking in the 1990s, Cambodia's growth rate has moderated substantially, suggesting demographic transition toward lower fertility as urbanization and development advance.
