Romania Population Pyramid 2046
Romania in 2046
By 2046, the population of Romania is expected to reach 16,502,990. Compared with 2036, when the projection stands at 17,678,048, that represents a decline of 6.6% over ten years.
Half of the population would be younger than 47.2 years, with 14.4% children under 15 and 27.3% aged 65 or older. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
