Abstract

The study aims to analyze the median age index in Iraq based on population census data and estimates for the period (1987-2022). This indicator is important for demographic analysis of the population, understanding its age characteristics, and the implications of the youth or old age of society. A quantitative analytical approach was adopted, relying on specific statistical indicators, and determining the extent of its change during the period under study, using tables, figures, and maps documented for it. The study relied on statistics issued by the Central Statistical Organization in the Ministry of Planning / Republic of Iraq. The results showed a change in the median age, rising from (17.1) years in 1987 to (20.2) years in 2022. This represents a change from the youth stage to maturity in population societies, according to the criteria of the median age of the population.
