Austria in 2055

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Austria at 8,570,634 in 2055. Compared with 2045, when the projection stands at 8,844,730, that represents a decline of 3.1% over ten years.

With a projected median age of 49.8 years, Austria would have a youth dependency ratio of 22.6 and an old-age dependency ratio of 57.0 per 100 people of working age. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
