Russian Federation Population Pyramid (1950–2100)
Russian Federation in 2026
In 2026, the Russian Federation has an estimated population of 143,394,458 people. That is 1.6% less than in 2016, when the population stood at 145,778,677.
The median age is 41.8 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there are 25.8 children under 15 and 28.3 people aged 65 or over. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
