Belarus Population Pyramid 2013
Belarus in 2013
As of 2013, Belarus counted 9,464,453 inhabitants. A decade earlier, in 2003, the population was still 9,803,176; it has declined by 3.5% since.
The median age was 39.3 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 22.1 children under 15 and 19.6 people aged 65 or over. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
