Armenia: population and ages

In mid-1950 there were 1.38 million people, so the population is now 2.1 times as large.

The UN projects 33,700 births and 27,800 deaths in 2026, 5,860 more births than deaths.

The UN projects the first year with more deaths than births in 2032.

More people leave than move in: net migration in 2026 is projected at minus 27,000.

The median age is 37.2, which is 6.1 years above the world’s 31.1.

19% of the people are under 15 and 15% are 65 or older (world: 24% and 11%).

The UN projects that people aged 65 and over will outnumber children under 15 from 2031.

Women have 1.7 children on average at today’s rates (world: 2.2), against 4.9 in 1950.

Life expectancy at birth is 76.2 years, above the world’s 73.8. In 1950 it was 54.6.

For mid-2050 the UN projects 2.5 million people, 15% fewer than now, with a median age of 45.2.

By the death rates of 2023, life expectancy at birth was 75.7 years. People who had reached 65 could expect 17.8 more years for women and 13.9 for men.

On 1 January 2026, there are 22.3 people aged 65 or more for every 100 aged 15 to 64. For 2050, the UN projects 38.4.

For 2100 the UN projects a population of 1.69 million, with a 95 percent prediction interval of 513,000 to 11.5 million.

Life expectancy at birth is a period measure. It sums up the death rates of one year and is not a forecast of how long the babies born that year will live.

In mid-2024, 275,000 international migrants lived here, 9.2% of the population.

In mid-2024, 638,000 people from here lived in other countries.
