Europe in 2040

In 2040, Europe is projected to have a population of 722,101,623 people. Ten years before, in 2030, the projected population is still 738,433,454 — a ten-year decline of 2.2%.

With a projected median age of 47.3 years, Europe would have a youth dependency ratio of 21.3 and an old-age dependency ratio of 43.1 per 100 people of working age. The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
