Western Europe in 2045

In 2045, Western Europe is projected to have a population of 197,644,860 people. Ten years before, in 2035, the projected population is still 199,116,752 — a ten-year decline of 0.7%.

With a projected median age of 47.0 years, Western Europe would have a youth dependency ratio of 23.9 and an old-age dependency ratio of 49.2 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.
