Median age in Bulgaria rose by more than three years in a decade
The median age in Bulgaria rose by 3.4 years in a decade, from 43.7 years in 2014 to 47.1 as of January 1 2024, European Union statistics agency Eurostat said on February 21.
On January 1 2024, the media age of the EU’s population reached 44.7 years. This means that half of the people in the EU were older than 44.7 years, while the other half was younger, Eurostat said.
Across the EU, it ranged from 39.4 years in Ireland to 48.7 years in Italy.
The median age has increased by 2.2 years since 2014, when it was 42.5 years. Increases were recorded in all EU countries, except Malta (-0.7 years) and Germany (-0.1 years).
The ageing of the population was most pronounced in Greece, Italy, Portugal and Slovakia, with the median increasing by 4.0 years.
The median age in Cyprus, Spain and Poland increased by 3.8 years.
