This research examines the impact of climate displacement on the demographic structure of
the rural population in developing countries. Employing a mixed-methods strategy that includes
both statistical analyses and case study assessments, this paper reveals remarkable shifts in the
population across different age groups, with corresponding socio-economic effects. The findings
point to a high youth out-migration rate, low birth rates, and higher levels of aging within the
rural population. The paper highlights the failure of policies aimed at managing rural economies
and services to adapt in a timely manner. This research adds to the climate resilience debate by
illustrating the demographic details critical for active climate change intervention frameworks.
