Albania in 2029

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Albania at 2,691,910 in 2029. Ten years before, in 2019, the projected population is still 2,885,009 — a ten-year decline of 6.7%.

With a projected median age of 40.5 years, Albania would have a youth dependency ratio of 23.5 and an old-age dependency ratio of 31.5 per 100 people of working age. The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
