Belarus Population Pyramid 2035
Belarus in 2035
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Belarus at 8,372,270 in 2035. Ten years before, in 2025, the projected population is still 8,997,603 — a ten-year decline of 6.9%.
With a projected median age of 46.7 years, Belarus would have a youth dependency ratio of 16.9 and an old-age dependency ratio of 33.6 per 100 people of working age. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
