Armenia in numbers

2,943,393 people lived in Armenia in mid-2023: 0.04% of the world's people, and the 140th-largest population of the 236 countries and areas the UN reports. That is 2.1 times its 1950 population of 1.4 million.

Its population peaked in 1991 at 3.6 million and has been falling since. The UN's medium projection has 1.7 million in 2100. The projection is uncertain: on 1 January 2100 the UN's 95% range runs from 516 thousand to 11.4 million.

In the medium projection, deaths outnumber births every year from 2032 on. Deaths also outnumbered births in 2020–2021.

The median age was 22.1 in 1950 and 36.8 in 2023; the projection has 50.9 in 2100. 13.2% of people were 65 or older in 2023, against 32.6% projected for 2100. The working-age population (15–64) peaked in 1991 at 2.3 million; in 2023 it was 2.0 million.

By size it is the 140th country in 2023; the projection puts it 144th in 2050 and 148th in 2100. In the medium projection it overtakes Moldova in 2030, Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2047 and Puerto Rico in 2051. It is overtaken by the Gambia in 2027, Gabon in 2030 and Botswana in 2032.

Armenia, every age in every year

Each column is a year and each row an age; the denser the ink in a cell, the more people. Everyone born in the same year climbs one 45° diagonal, so famines, baby booms and migration show up as streaks. Select a cell to follow its generation.

ARM · ages 15–64

Who does the work in Armenia

Armenia had the most working-age people it is ever expected to have in 1991: 2,322,500 people aged 15–64, against 1,979,240 in 2023.

How to read this: one orange square for each of 100 people aged 15–64 in 2023. Beneath them, teal for the children living alongside those 100 and violet for the people aged 65 or older.

Fewer than 50 dependants live alongside every 100 people aged 15–64 in 21 years: 2004–2024.

How to read this: the strip runs 1950 to 2100. Coloured years are the ones with under 50 dependants for every 100 people aged 15–64; grey years are the rest, and a hatched year has not happened yet.

How every country compares

ARM · arrivals minus departures

Who arrives in Armenia, and who leaves

In 2020–2025 Armenia gains 8,510 people a year: everyone who arrives, minus everyone who leaves. The age at which that happens most is 20–24, at 2,819 a year more arriving than leaving.

one square = 500 people a year

How to read this: each column is one age, youngest on the left. Above the line, in blue, are the ages gaining people; below it, in orange, the ages losing them. This is the UN's projection for 2020–2025 — the record of migration by age does not go back beyond 2020.

Its best and worst years between 1950 and 2023: a gain of 98,517 (1989), and a loss of 196,270 (1992).

In 2024, 274,645 people living in Armenia had been born in another country, 9 of every 100 people there, against 12 in 1990.

Years in good health in Armenia

In Armenia, WHO puts the healthy years a newborn could expect in 2021 at 64.0 (95% range 63.3–64.7), out of 73.0 in all. That leaves 9.0 years in less than full health, fewer than the world's 9.5, even though lives here are longer than the world's 71.4 years.

Men

How to read this: each square is a year of life, each row ten years; filled squares are years in full health, rounded to whole years.

Women: 66.3 healthy years of 76.9. Men: 61.5 of 68.6. In 2019, before the pandemic, the healthy years were 66.5.

How to read this: count the squares — 5,000 people each, so the rows can be compared with one another. The last row is people from Armenia living in another country, wherever they are.

In 2025, 593 people asked for asylum in Armenia for the first time; 5,420 people from Armenia asked for asylum in another country. Of every 100 people from Armenia whose claims were decided that year, 8 were given protection. Who asks for asylum, and who is given it

Nearly everyone has electricity at home (2024). 18.7 of every 100 do not use the internet (2024).

Its people aged 15 to 64 were most numerous in 2020, the first year counted, and are never as many again in the middle projection; nor are the ones who finished upper secondary.
