Northern Europe in 2048

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Northern Europe at 115,646,176 in 2048. Compared with 2038, when the projection stands at 113,805,378, that represents growth of 1.6% over ten years.

With a projected median age of 44.4 years, Northern Europe would have a youth dependency ratio of 24.4 and an old-age dependency ratio of 41.5 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.
