Romania Population Pyramid 2050
Romania in 2050
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Romania at 16,027,266 in 2050. Compared with 2040, when the projection stands at 17,209,718, that represents a decline of 6.9% over ten years.
With a projected median age of 47.3 years, Romania would have a youth dependency ratio of 25.0 and an old-age dependency ratio of 48.1 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.
