Analysis# Yemen Population Analysis
Yemen's population of 40.58 million (2024) reflects a 34.26% growth over the past decade, positioning it as the 38th most populous country globally. The 10-year growth rate of 3.43% annually indicates sustained high fertility despite the country's economic collapse and ongoing conflict since 2015. Peak growth occurred in the 1988s, when Yemen experienced its demographic dividend before war, disease, and displacement reversed gains—the current trajectory suggests population pressures will intensify amid chronic instability and resource scarcity.
