Year
2017Lithuania in 2017
As of 2017, Lithuania counted 2,829,313 inhabitants. A decade earlier, in 2007, the population was still 3,231,374; it has declined by 12.4% since.
Half of the population was younger than 43.6 years; 14.9% were children under 15 and 19.5% 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.
