Summary

Germany in 2013

As of 2013, Germany counted 81,041,582 inhabitants. A decade earlier, in 2003, the population was still 82,111,615; it has declined by 1.3% since.

Half of the population was younger than 45.5 years; 13.2% were children under 15 and 20.8% were 65 or older. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
