Europe in 2042

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Europe at 718,678,462 in 2042. That would be 2.3% less than in 2032 (735,366,259).

The median age is projected at 47.4 years, with 21.7 children under 15 and 44.4 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
