Montenegro Population Pyramid 2035
Montenegro in 2035
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Montenegro at 594,137 in 2035. Ten years before, in 2025, the projected population is still 632,729 — a ten-year decline of 6.1%.
With a projected median age of 43.7 years, Montenegro would have a youth dependency ratio of 25.3 and an old-age dependency ratio of 34.8 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.
