Belgium Population Pyramid 2080
Belgium in 2080
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Belgium at 11,361,054 in 2080. Compared with 2070, when the projection stands at 11,490,796, that represents a decline of 1.1% over ten years.
With a projected median age of 48.8 years, Belgium would have a youth dependency ratio of 23.9 and an old-age dependency ratio of 56.6 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.
