Italy Population Pyramid 2046
Italy in 2046
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Italy at 53,346,082 in 2046. Compared with 2036, when the projection stands at 56,348,694, that represents a decline of 5.3% over ten years.
With a projected median age of 53.7 years, Italy would have a youth dependency ratio of 20.3 and an old-age dependency ratio of 68.6 per 100 people of working age. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
