Estonia Population Pyramid 2042
Estonia in 2042
In 2042, Estonia is projected to have a population of 1,224,641 people. Ten years before, in 2032, the projected population is still 1,288,715 — a ten-year decline of 5.0%.
The median age is projected at 49.7 years, with 19.9 children under 15 and 44.6 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.
