Key statistics for 2025

Total population

59.1M

Density

200 people/km²

Median age

48.2 years

Growth rate

-0.35%

Key terms

Population growth rate: — Annual percentage change in total population size.
Population density: — People per square kilometre of land area.
Median age: — Age at which half the population is younger and half is older.
Sex ratio: — Number of males per 100 females in the population.

The trajectory

Population peaked in 2014

Total population from 1950 to 2100 (projections beyond 2024)

Since the 2014 peak, the population has declined by 2.5%.

Population structure

How is the population split by gender?

Male and female population with sex ratio trend

No population by gender data available.

The sex ratio of 95.7 males per 100 females is below the global average (~101).

Density & aging

Density

People per square kilometre

Median age

Age where half the population is younger

Population density of 200 people per km² is moderate by global standards. The median age is projected to rise by 5 years by 2050, from 47.8 to 52.9.

Rate of change

How fast is the population changing?

Annual percentage change in population size

Growth peaked at 1.14% in 1953.

The bottom line

Italy passed its population peak 11 years ago in 2014, and has since declined by 2.5%. The population is aging rapidly—median age will rise from 48 to 53 by 2050. UN projections show a decline to 35.4M by 2100.
