Serbia in 2027

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Serbia at 6,597,531 in 2027. Ten years before, in 2017, the projected population is still 7,073,506 — a ten-year decline of 6.7%.

With a projected median age of 45.9 years, Serbia would have a youth dependency ratio of 22.7 and an old-age dependency ratio of 38.1 per 100 people of working age. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
