Serbia in 2029

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Serbia at 6,507,080 in 2029. Ten years before, in 2019, the projected population is still 6,966,152 — a ten-year decline of 6.6%.

With a projected median age of 46.4 years, Serbia would have a youth dependency ratio of 22.6 and an old-age dependency ratio of 39.0 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.
