Belarus in 2040

In 2040, Belarus is projected to have a population of 8,064,466 people. Compared with 2030, when the projection stands at 8,687,632, that represents a decline of 7.2% over ten years.

With a projected median age of 48.4 years, Belarus would have a youth dependency ratio of 17.2 and an old-age dependency ratio of 36.4 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.
