Malta Population Pyramid 2081
Malta in 2081
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Malta at 432,663 in 2081. Compared with 2071, when the projection stands at 476,649, that represents a decline of 9.2% over ten years.
Half of the population would be younger than 57.4 years, with 9.3% children under 15 and 40.5% aged 65 or older. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
