Bangladesh is among the world’s most populous countries and one of the most densely populated large economies. Population is the denominator behind every per-capita statistic, and its growth rate — now well below its historical peak — shapes the demographic-dividend window the economy is currently in.
The series is the World Bank’s mid-year estimate, which interpolates between census rounds; census-year revisions can shift the recent history.
