Montenegro Population Pyramid 2030
Montenegro in 2030
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Montenegro at 612,561 in 2030. Ten years before, in 2020, the projected population is 607,935 — 0.8% lower.
Half of the population would be younger than 42.5 years, with 16.8% children under 15 and 20.3% 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.
