The National Statistics Committee updated the population rate between 2010 and 2040.

The estimation was made based on the nationwide population and property census of 2010. Experts said that the census would be helpful to develop a demography and economical program.

The estimation was made over six different versions.

According to the first of these six versions the population of Mongolia would be 3 million by 2017. The population was estimated t reach up to 3.9 million in 2040.

The versions that showed the structure of age demonstrated that there would be a trend of aging in 2040.

While the demographic weigh was 46.7 percent in 2010, it is estimated to be 48.7 percent in 2040.

On the other hand, the number of elderly would increase and the number of births would decrease.

The aging trend in population would be seen to increase especially from 2030 in Mongolia. By 2040 7.9 percent of the population would be elderly. This is twice the current amount. For sex statistics it is estimated that there will be more women than men.

According to the population rate in aimags, the least densely populated aimag would be Zavkhan with a decrease of twice the current amount. In contrast the population in Umnugovi would increased by double the population.
