In 2036, Montenegro is projected to have a population of 590,265 people. Ten years before, in 2026, the projected population is still 626,233 — a ten-year decline of 5.7%.
The median age is projected at 43.9 years, with 25.1 children under 15 and 35.3 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
