Belarus Population Pyramid 2042
Belarus in 2042
By 2042, the population of Belarus is expected to reach 7,943,010. Compared with 2032, when the projection stands at 8,561,292, that represents a decline of 7.2% over ten years.
The median age is projected at 48.9 years, with 17.8 children under 15 and 37.7 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
