Belarus Population Pyramid 2027
Belarus in 2027
By 2027, the population of Belarus is expected to reach 8,875,626. Ten years before, in 2017, the projected population is still 9,495,789 — a ten-year decline of 6.5%.
Half of the population would be younger than 43.2 years, with 15.0% children under 15 and 19.5% aged 65 or older. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
