According to Statistics Finland's latest population projection, Finland's population would rise to 6.5 million persons by 2070 if net immigration remained at the current level. By contrast, the number of persons aged under 15 would fall from the present 832,000 young people to good 700,000 by 2070.

Key selections

  • The projection is a trend calculation and gives decision-makers a chance to react.
  • Current net immigration will postpone but will not prevent the demographic dependency ratio from rising.
  • The population would remain growing through net immigration of 40,000 persons.
  • At the current birth rate, there will be only 700,000 persons aged under 15 in 2070.
  • Population is projected to grow in eight regions and fall in eleven regions.
