Western Europe in 2049

In 2049, Western Europe is projected to have a population of 196,593,346 people. That would be 1.0% less than in 2039 (198,641,858).

The median age is projected at 46.9 years, with 24.5 children under 15 and 50.2 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
