In 2004, Romania had a total population of 21,403,218 people. Over the previous ten years the population declined by 5.9%, down from 22,756,242 in 1994.
Half of the population was younger than 36.6 years; 16.4% were children under 15 and 14.7% were 65 or older. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
