Russia's median population aged between 30 and 34 years was projected to decrease from approximately 11.7 million in 2022 to 7.45 million in 2100. At the same time, the number of Russian residents aged from 80 to 84 years was forecast to increase by almost three million over that period.

In 2020, the median age of Russia's population was 38.6 years. By the end of the century, it was forecast to exceed 46 years. The median age of a population is an index that divides the population into two equal groups: half of the population is older than the median age and the other half younger.

According to the 2010 UN Global Demographic Outlook, the world’s population reached 7.1 billion as of 1 July 2012. Asia accounted for the majority of the world’s population (just over 60 % in 2012), with 4.25 billion inhabitants, while Africa was the second most populous continent, with 1.07 billion inhabitants, or 15.2 % of the world’s total. By comparison, the EU had 504 million inhabitants in 2012, just over 7 % of the world’s population. In 2012, the world’s most populous countries were China (19.2 % of the world’s population) and India (17.8 %), followed by the United States (4.5 %), Indonesia (3.5 %) and Brazil (2.8 %).

The table contains the demographic projections of the main European countries from 2020 to 2080. The Eurostat table has been modified by economy-policy in order to obtain better visibility. Indeed, the number of inhabitants is expressed in “million inhabitants” and not in unit data.
In addition, demographic projections for China, India, Brazil and Russia were added for the years 2030, 2040 and 2050.

This statistic shows the evolution of affiliation to different religiouns in Russia between 2010 and 2050. In 2010, over 70 percent of the Russian population identified themselves as Christians. However, this amount is expected to shrink gradually in the coming years. Muslims were the second largest group of believers after Christians and their number is expected to grow steadily. Christianity is still forecast to be the strongly dominant religion of the country.
