Germany’s Federal Statistical Office forecasts that the country’s population will decline by about 10 million, reaching roughly 75 million by 2070.
The report highlights that within a decade, one in four residents will be over 67 years old. By 2038, around 21 million people – 27% of the population – will be retired.
This demographic shift poses major challenges for the labor market and social systems. In the worst-case scenario, the ratio of retirees to workers could rise to 61 per 100 by 2070.
