Portugal population set to shrink considerably



Portugal’s population is set to shrink by almost a quarter by the year 2070.

According to the EU’s Ageing Report for 2018, Portugal is set to lose two million inhabitants over the next fifty years, with the population increasing in age.

This will result in the working population being drastically reduced, with the number of 15 to 64 year old dropping by 37 percent over the next five decades.
