Southern Europe in 2042

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Southern Europe at 141,223,605 in 2042. Ten years before, in 2032, the projected population is still 147,221,144 — a ten-year decline of 4.1%.

The median age is projected at 51.8 years, with 20.0 children under 15 and 58.1 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
