Montenegro Population Pyramid 2031
Montenegro in 2031
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Montenegro at 609,020 in 2031. Compared with 2021, when the projection stands at 603,850, that represents growth of 0.9% over ten years.
Half of the population would be younger than 42.8 years, with 16.6% children under 15 and 20.6% aged 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.
