Estonia Population Pyramid 2040
Estonia in 2040
By 2040, the population of Estonia is expected to reach 1,236,787. Compared with 2030, when the projection stands at 1,302,772, that represents a decline of 5.1% over ten years.
The median age is projected at 49.2 years, with 19.3 children under 15 and 43.0 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
