Western Europe in 2050

In 2050, Western Europe is projected to have a population of 196,281,820 people. Ten years before, in 2040, the projected population is still 198,497,901 — a ten-year decline of 1.1%.

Half of the population would be younger than 46.9 years, with 14.1% children under 15 and 28.8% aged 65 or older. The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
