Albania Population Pyramid 2005
Albania in 2005
In 2005, Albania had a total population of 3,076,159 people. A decade earlier, in 1995, the population was still 3,258,567; it has declined by 5.6% since.
The median age was 29.6 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 39.7 children under 15 and 13.7 people aged 65 or over. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
