Western Europe in 2036

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Western Europe at 199,013,572 in 2036. The total would be almost unchanged from 2026 (199,495,044).

With a projected median age of 46.5 years, Western Europe would have a youth dependency ratio of 23.2 and an old-age dependency ratio of 46.3 per 100 people of working age. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
