Annual percentage change in population size
North Macedonia passed its population peak 21 years ago in 2005, and has since declined by 13.7%. The sex ratio of 95 males per 100 females is notably lower than the global average of ~101. The population is aging rapidly—median age will rise from 41 in 2026 to 48 by 2050. Looking ahead, UN projections show the population falling to 863K by 2100—less than half of 2026's level.
