Lithuania in 2016

In 2016, Lithuania had a total population of 2,869,110 people. Over the previous ten years the population declined by 12.3%, down from 3,269,808 in 2006.

The median age was 43.2 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 22.3 children under 15 and 29.0 people aged 65 or over. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
