2049Croatia in 2049

The median age is projected at 50.0 years, with 22.5 children under 15 and 53.6 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.
