Serbia Population Pyramid 2038
Year
2038Serbia in 2038
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Serbia at 6,083,452 in 2038. Ten years before, in 2028, the projected population is still 6,552,480 — a ten-year decline of 7.2%.
With a projected median age of 48.2 years, Serbia would have a youth dependency ratio of 21.6 and an old-age dependency ratio of 42.1 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.
