Montenegro Population Pyramid 2045
Montenegro in 2045

Half of the population would be younger than 45.4 years, with 15.0% children under 15 and 24.8% aged 65 or older. The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
