Albania in 2036

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Albania at 2,549,688 in 2036. That would be 7.3% less than in 2026 (2,751,025).

The median age is projected at 44.6 years, with 20.7 children under 15 and 38.0 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
