Southern Europe in 2046

By 2046, the population of Southern Europe is expected to reach 138,417,783. Compared with 2036, when the projection stands at 144,946,058, that represents a decline of 4.5% over ten years.

With a projected median age of 52.2 years, Southern Europe would have a youth dependency ratio of 21.1 and an old-age dependency ratio of 62.9 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.
