Romania Population Pyramid 2038
Romania in 2038
In 2038, Romania is projected to have a population of 17,443,921 people. Ten years before, in 2028, the projected population is still 18,581,890 — a ten-year decline of 6.1%.
With a projected median age of 46.9 years, Romania would have a youth dependency ratio of 23.1 and an old-age dependency ratio of 39.1 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.
