About this ranking

Age that divides the estimated population on July 1 into two groups of equal size.

Modelled demographic estimate from UN World Population Prospects 2024. This series includes estimates through 2023 and excludes projections from 2024 onward. The reference date and method differ from January 1 statistics and multi-year survey estimates. Historical estimates can be revised.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the EU countries are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
