Long life span and low birth rate
Around 20 percent of the Italian population in 2023 was above 65 years old. Together with a long life expectancy, Italy also has very low birth and fertility rates. In 2024, the country ranked among the 20 states with the lowest fertility rate in the world.
One of the longest-living nations
From a global perspective, Italy was the ninth country in the world with the highest life expectancy. The inhabitants of Japan and Liechtenstein were expected to live about 84 years, while Italians' life expectancy was of 83 years.
