Eastern Europe in 2029

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Eastern Europe at 280,276,519 in 2029. That would be 4.8% less than in 2019 (294,517,249).

The median age is projected at 43.8 years, with 22.3 children under 15 and 31.3 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.
