Population by age and sex

The age and sex structure of the population shows how many children, people of working age and older people a country has, and it shapes what society needs, from schools to pensions. The chart shows the permanent population in five-year age groups, men and women separately, from the 2022 population census.

The census counted a permanent population of 2,932,731 people in Armenia: 1,384,481 men and 1,548,250 women. The largest age group is people aged 30-34 (233,984), while the groups aged 15-29 are noticeably smaller than those both younger and older.

Up to the age of 24 there are more boys than girls; from 25 onwards women outnumber men, and the gap widens with age. Among people aged 85 and over, women outnumber men more than two to one: 23,622 women and 11,330 men.
