Southern Europe in 2027

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Southern Europe at 149,839,959 in 2027. That would be 2.0% less than in 2017 (152,825,286).

Half of the population would be younger than 48.1 years, with 12.2% children under 15 and 24.3% aged 65 or older. The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
