🇸🇾Syrian Arab Republic population (2025)
Syrian Arab Republic's population is 25.6M as of 2025 — the total resident population, all ages and both sexes. That places Syrian Arab Republic 57 of 217 countries with recent data. The world figure for the same period is 8.2B. In 1960 the figure was 4.7M — up 448% since then. Headcount is the stock; growth is the flow. Fertility, mortality, and net migration all move the total, but age structure decides how many workers and retirees that stock contains.
