Population in the future/circle level (middle variant results) – population 65 years and older 2040, percentage in %

Thematic maps of the population. Share of population by age group in the total population 2022, 2040, 2070. Population change by age group in 2022 compared to 2040 and 2070 in %. Youth and old age quotients 2022, 2040 and 2070. The youth quotient indicates the number of people under the age of 20 to 100 people aged between 20 and 65, the age quotient is the number of 65 @-@years-olds and older people based on 100 people between the ages of 20 and 65. The data come from the sixth regionalised population projection (medium variant). The results of the population update to 31 are used as the basis for this forecast. December 2020. The birth rate will rise from 1.57 to 1.6 children per woman by 2025. After that, it will remain constant until 2070. Life expectancy increases from 83 to 85 years in women by 2040 and from 79 to 82 in men. By 2070, a further increase is assumed for women to 87 years and for men to 85 years. The projection assumes that the migration balance will increase from 17300 to 2025 to + 20000 persons per year. It will remain at this level until 2030. The balance then drops to + 15000 people by 2040. This is roughly the same as the long-term migration balance that Rhineland-Palatinate recorded on average per year between 1951 and 2020. From 2040 onwards, the balance remains constant until the end of the pre-calculation period. Population 65 years and older 2022, percentage in %.
