意大利的人口正逐年老龄化，成为世界上老龄化程度最高的国家之一。截至2024年，意大利人口的平均年龄为46.6岁，比2010年记录的平均年龄高出3.2岁。然而，这种年龄差异在不同地区之间表现尤为显著。根据2024年的最新数据，意大利半岛上“最年长”的居民生活在利古里亚地区（平均年龄为49.5岁），而最年轻的居民则生活在坎帕尼亚地区（平均年龄为44.2岁）。女性通常比男性长寿。人口平均年龄的差异不仅体现在地区之间，也体现在性别之间。至2021年，意大利女性的平均年龄比男性约高三年。至于预期寿命，2023年的研究证实了意大利女性的长寿。事实上，预计意大利的女性平均寿命比男性长约四年。在2023年，欧洲成为世界上65岁以上人口比例最高的洲。尽管全球65岁以上人口的比例仅为十分之一，但欧洲大陆的老年人口比例却高达19%。
