Portugal Population Pyramid 2045
Portugal in 2045
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Portugal at 9,938,390 in 2045. Compared with 2035, when the projection stands at 10,208,241, that represents a decline of 2.6% over ten years.
With a projected median age of 49.7 years, Portugal would have a youth dependency ratio of 24.6 and an old-age dependency ratio of 60.0 per 100 people of working age. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
