Germany in 2050

By 2050, the population of Germany is expected to reach 78,294,613. Compared with 2040, when the projection stands at 80,551,736, that represents a decline of 2.8% over ten years.

The median age is projected at 48.9 years, with 23.2 children under 15 and 53.5 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
