Albania Population Pyramid 2042
Albania in 2042
By 2042, the population of Albania is expected to reach 2,417,264. Compared with 2032, when the projection stands at 2,632,159, that represents a decline of 8.2% over ten years.
The median age is projected at 48.0 years, with 18.7 children under 15 and 41.2 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.
