Finland Population Pyramid 2042
Finland in 2042
In 2042, Finland is projected to have a population of 5,456,015 people. Compared with 2032, when the projection stands at 5,572,884, that represents a decline of 2.1% over ten years.
With a projected median age of 47.2 years, Finland would have a youth dependency ratio of 21.0 and an old-age dependency ratio of 45.1 per 100 people of working age.
