Romania Population Pyramid 2049
Romania in 2049
By 2049, the population of Romania is expected to reach 16,146,362. That would be 6.8% less than in 2039 (17,326,562).
Half of the population would be younger than 47.2 years, with 14.4% children under 15 and 27.6% aged 65 or older. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
