Malta Population Pyramid 2065
Malta in 2065
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Malta at 498,708 in 2065. Compared with 2055, when the projection stands at 525,221, that represents a decline of 5.0% over ten years.
With a projected median age of 56.3 years, Malta would have a youth dependency ratio of 19.2 and an old-age dependency ratio of 80.9 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.
