2045Croatia in 2045
By 2045, the population of Croatia is expected to reach 3,362,953. That would be 6.8% less than in 2035 (3,607,216).
Half of the population would be younger than 49.6 years, with 12.7% children under 15 and 29.3% aged 65 or older. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
