Romania Population Pyramid 2044
Romania in 2044
In 2044, Romania is projected to have a population of 16,738,280 people. That would be 6.5% less than in 2034 (17,909,246).
With a projected median age of 47.2 years, Romania would have a youth dependency ratio of 24.3 and an old-age dependency ratio of 45.0 per 100 people of working age. The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
