2042Serbia in 2042
In 2042, Serbia is projected to have a population of 5,892,176 people. Ten years before, in 2032, the projected population is still 6,368,276 — a ten-year decline of 7.5%.
The median age is projected at 48.7 years, with 21.7 children under 15 and 44.5 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
