Western Europe in 2055

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Western Europe at 194,435,686 in 2055. That would be 1.6% less than in 2045 (197,644,860).

Half of the population would be younger than 46.9 years, with 14.2% children under 15 and 29.2% 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.
