Finland in 2050

In 2050, Finland is projected to have a population of 5,351,645 people. That would be 2.4% less than in 2040 (5,480,523).

The median age is projected at 47.5 years, with 22.4 children under 15 and 48.2 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.
