Belarus in 2029

In 2029, Belarus is projected to have a population of 8,751,058 people. Ten years before, in 2019, the projected population is still 9,435,419 — a ten-year decline of 7.3%.

With a projected median age of 44.1 years, Belarus would have a youth dependency ratio of 21.0 and an old-age dependency ratio of 31.0 per 100 people of working age. The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
