Eastern Europe Population Pyramid 2026
Eastern Europe in 2026
In 2026, Eastern Europe has an estimated population of 283,704,971 people. A decade earlier, in 2016, the population was still 295,069,855; it has declined by 3.9% since.
The median age is 42.7 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there are 23.9 children under 15 and 29.7 people aged 65 or over. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
