The report states: "Saudi population under the age of 35 represents the highest proportion among age groups. According to the 2022 Census and mid-year estimates for 2023, this group represents approximately 71% of the total Saudi population." This figure is presented as an official statistic from the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT).

The General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT) released the "Saudi Family Statistics Report 2024" based on latest data and the 2022 census. The report’s results indicated that "71% of the Saudi population is under the age of 35 years." It specifies that this figure refers to Saudi nationals and is drawn from official family and demographic statistics for 2024.

Saudi Gazette, citing the Saudi Family Statistics Report 2024 released by the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT), reports: "About 71 percent of the Saudi population is under the age of 35." The article notes that this is an official statistic from GASTAT and that the report is published on GASTAT’s website.

Akhbaar24 reports, quoting the General Authority for Statistics: "The population estimates for 2024 showed that the percentage of Saudi citizens whose ages are less than 35 years is 71%." The piece adds that the average age in Saudi society reached 26.6 years and the median age of the individual is 23.5 years, explicitly attributing these figures to GASTAT’s 2024 estimates.

A post summarizing GASTAT data states: "About 71 percent of the Saudi population is under the age of 35, according to the Saudi Family Statistics Report 2024, released by the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT) on its website." It also notes that "The average age of a Saudi individual is 26.6 years, with a median age of 23.5 years," directly reflecting the official statistics.

Saudis under the age of 35 comprised 69.4 percent of the total Saudi population. This data was revealed by the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT) on the occasion of the International Youth Day, which falls on August 12. The GASTAT data from 2024 showed that the age group between 15 and 34 accounted for 35.9 percent of the population, with a nearly equal gender distribution of 50.3 percent male and 49.7 percent female. Regarding Saudis and non-Saudis, individuals under 35 made up 61.4 percent of the total population.

In its 2024 population estimates bulletin, the General Authority for Statistics reports: "The total population of the Kingdom is estimated at 35.3 million in mid-2024" and that "the total number of Saudi nationals exceeded 19.6 million for 2024." The bulletin provides age-structure breakdowns (0–14, 15–64, 65+) but does not itself contain the specific "71% under age 35" figure; that figure appears in the separate Saudi Family Statistics 2024 report and related communications.

Saudis under the age of 35 comprised 69.4 percent of the total Saudi population. This data was revealed by the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT) on the occasion of the International Youth Day, which falls on August 12. Regarding Saudis and non-Saudis, individuals under 35 made up 61.4 percent of the total population.

Saudis under the age of 35 make up 71% of the population, with the median age of Saudi society estimated at 23.5 and the average at 26.6 years, signifying a young and dynamic nation, according to the 2024 Saudi Family Statistics report (pdf) by the General Authority for Statistics (Gastat).

On Tuesday, the General Authority for Statistics revealed statistics from 2024 that showed 69.4% of the population of Saudi Arabia is now under the age of 35. Young people between the ages of 15 and 39 make up the largest percentage of the Kingdom’s population. The statistics were released to mark International Youth Day 2024.

The official website of the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT) hosts population estimates and reports, including the 2024 population estimates and thematic reports like "Saudi Family Statistics 2024." These publications are cited by local media when reporting that 71% of Saudi citizens are under age 35, indicating that the youth-share figure originates from official statistics produced by GASTAT.

According to GASTAT's 2024 report, 71% of Saudi citizens are under 35, with a national median age of 23.5 years. The figures come from the Saudi Family Statistics Report 2024, published by the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT), and offer a detailed look at the Kingdom's demographic profile, household structure, and housing trends. The report, released on GASTAT's website, states that 71 percent of Saudi citizens are below the age of 35.

Saudis under the age of 35 comprised 69.4 percent of the total Saudi population. This data was revealed by the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT) on the occasion of International Youth Day, which falls on August 12. The GASTAT data from 2024 showed that the age group between 15 and 34 accounted for 35.9% of the population, with a nearly equal gender distribution of 50.3% male and 49.7% female. Regarding Saudis and non-Saudis, individuals under 35 made up 61.4% of the total population.

The GOV.SA reports and statistics page aggregates official statistical releases based on GASTAT data, including labor force and youth participation indicators. While this page focuses on unemployment and labor market participation (for example, youth aged 15–24), it notes that these indicators are built on population estimates from the 2022 census and GASTAT demographic data, the same underlying system that produces figures such as the share of Saudis under age 35.

The data from the estimation period by nationality and broad age groups indicated that Saudi citizens made up 33.5% of the population in the (0-14 years) age group, while non-Saudis accounted for 8.6%. In contrast, non-Saudis represented 89.9% of the working-age population (15-64 years), compared to 62.7% for Saudis. These official 2024 population estimates by the General Authority for Statistics provide age-structure data by nationality, though they present broad groups rather than a specific under-35 share.

Saudi Arabia’s population reached 35.3 million in mid-2024, with Saudi nationals accounting for more than 55 percent of the total. The young population under the age of 35 forms a significant share of Saudi citizens, underpinning ongoing economic and social transformation programs. The article cites General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT) data on the youth share of the population in 2024.

A Facebook post by Saudi Gazette summarizing newly released GASTAT data notes: "Saudi Arabia's total population reached 35,300,280 in 2024, according to newly released data from the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT), marking World Population Day." While the post focuses on total population, it confirms that GASTAT released official 2024 demographic statistics used in other youth-percentage reporting.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a youthful country with a median age of 27.5 years and its youth (between 18 and 35 years of age) comprises 35% of the total population. The 2022 census reveals Saudis under the age of 30 comprise 63% of the population, significantly higher than the global average (42%). These figures highlight the demographic weight of young Saudis in the country’s population structure.

A news report summarizing GASTAT’s announcement of Saudi Arabia’s 2024 population states: "The General Authority for Statistics officially announced that the total population of Saudi Arabia for 2024 reached 35,300,280 inhabitants." It adds: "The Authority clarified that the percentage of Saudis from the total population reached 55.6%, while non-Saudis accounted for 44.4%." The article also lists broad age-group shares (0–14, 15–64, 65+), contextualizing the youth-heavy demographic structure referenced in the 71% under-35 statistic.

The official DataSaudi portal, which disseminates internationally reported indicators based on GASTAT data, notes: "In 2024, the total population of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia reached 35,300,280 inhabitants." It explains that labor force participation rates and employment indicators (for those aged 15 and over) are derived from these official demographic estimates, reinforcing that youth-share metrics such as the high proportion of Saudis under 35 are grounded in the same statistical system.

In its "Saudi Women Report 2024", GASTAT finds that the total number of Saudi females reached 9,807,663. It reports that the age group 15–34 accounted for 35.7% of all Saudi females, and the age group 20–24 alone represented 17.6%. This detailed age-structure for women illustrates the broader youth-heavy demographic pattern that underlies statistics such as the claim that around 71% of Saudis are under age 35.

According to the CIA World Factbook the population of Saudi Arabia has a large young population ages 0–19 years and an increasing middle-age population ages 20–35 years. Saudi Arabia’s age structure is shown as 0–14 years: 24.44%, 15–64 years: 72.36%, and 65+ years: 3.20%, based on Saudi Census 2024 figures. These percentages describe the total population, not specifically the share of citizens under age 35.

Youth (0-14) comprise 23.6% of Saudi Arabia’s population. Under 25 account for 38.6% of the population. The age distribution of Saudi Arabia's population reveals important demographic characteristics, with a substantial young consumer market and moderate demographic momentum.

A LinkedIn post summarizing the Saudi Gazette article states: "In Saudi Arabia, where 69.4% of the population is under 35, training is critical for harnessing this youthful energy." It quotes the underlying report: "Saudis under the age of 35 comprised 69.4 percent of the total Saudi population. This data was revealed by the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT) on the occasion of the International Youth Day."

In the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), where the majority of our regional youth survey respondents reside, over 50% of the local youth population is under the age of 25. This reflects the broader regional pattern of youthful populations in GCC countries, including Saudi Arabia, and associated opportunities and challenges.

Estimates of the General Authority for Statistics for 2024, 44% of Saudis under 20 and 69% under 35. This social media post summarizes GASTAT estimates by stating that 69% of Saudis are under age 35 in 2024, aligning with official youth statistics cited elsewhere, but it is not itself an official publication.

Results for Saudi females aged 15-24 years showed an increase in their labor force participation rate by 1.0%, reaching 18.0%. Furthermore, the Saudi population results related to the labor market indicators for the 3rd quarter of 2024 AD or the (males and females) of the core working-age (25) and (54) years showed an increase in the labor force participation rate by 0.7%, reaching 69.4%. These official labor market statistics from Saudi Arabia’s national portal provide demographic and age-related breakdowns for 2024, though they focus on working-age groups rather than an explicit under-35 share of citizens.

Worldometers’ Saudi Arabia population page provides recent population estimates and related indicators. For 2024, it lists a total population figure of 33,962,757 and notes an annual growth rate of 2.1%. While it does not give an explicit percentage of citizens under 35, it supplies contextual demographic data for 2024 that can be compared with GASTAT’s official figures.

Saudi Arabia’s population remains overwhelmingly young, with new official data showing that more than seven in ten citizens are under the age of 35. The figures come from the Saudi Family Statistics Report 2024, published by the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT). The report states that 71 percent of Saudi citizens are below the age of 35 and gives a median age of 23.5 years for the national population, highlighting the youthfulness of Saudi society.

Macrotrends’ Saudi Arabia population series shows that "Total population for Saudi Arabia in 2024 was 37,473,929, a 12.66% increase from 2023." The site focuses on total population and growth rates rather than age structure, but it provides external confirmation of the rapid demographic growth context in which youth percentages like 69–71% are discussed.
