Romania Population Pyramid 1999
Romania in 1999
As of 1999, Romania counted 22,166,159 inhabitants. A decade earlier, in 1989, the population was still 22,887,640; it has declined by 3.2% since.
The median age was 34.7 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 28.1 children under 15 and 19.5 people aged 65 or over. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
