The average life expectancy is 77.5 years (74.1 for men, 81.0 for women). The fertility rate stands at 1.90 children per woman, and the median age of the population is 37.9 years.

The country's population growth rate is 2.31% per year. Net migration is -29,966 people, indicating that more people are leaving the country than arriving. The infant mortality rate is 8.9 per 1,000 live births.

Demographic Profile

Armenia is located in Western Asia, a part of Asia, and covers an area of 29,743 km². With a population of 3,033,500, the country has a population density of 105.1 inhabitants per square kilometer, which is above the global average of approximately 60 people per km².

The demographic structure of Armenia reveals an aging population. The median age of 37.9 years means that half of the population is younger and half is older than this age. This aging population structure poses challenges for pension systems, healthcare provision, and the labor market, as the ratio of working-age to retired individuals continues to decline.

Health and Longevity

Life expectancy in Armenia stands at 77.5 years overall — 74.1 years for men and 81.0 years for women. This places the country among those with high life expectancy globally, reflecting well-developed healthcare systems and living standards. The infant mortality rate is 8.9 per 1,000 live births, which is considered very low and indicates excellent maternal and infant healthcare.

Fertility and Population Growth

The total fertility rate (TFR) of 1.90 children per woman is near the replacement level of 2.1, suggesting population stability. The population is growing at a rate of 2.31% per year. At this rate, the population could double within approximately 30 years if trends continue.

Migration

Net migration in Armenia is -29,966 people, meaning more people are leaving the country than arriving. Emigration may reflect economic challenges or conflict, and can lead to brain drain as skilled workers seek opportunities elsewhere.

Outlook

Based on current demographic trends, Armenia's population dynamics reflect broader patterns seen across Western Asia. As the population ages, adapting social security systems and healthcare to serve a growing elderly population will be a key challenge.
