Malta Population Pyramid 2044
Malta in 2044
In 2044, Malta is projected to have a population of 546,199 people. Compared with 2034, when the projection stands at 556,971, that represents a decline of 1.9% over ten years.
The median age is projected at 51.4 years, with 15.4 children under 15 and 42.2 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.
