Cyprus — population by age and sex

Cyprus is an ageing population: in 2025, half of everyone counted was 41.0^* years old or older.

Figures from 1975 on cover a smaller area, not fewer people

Published Cyprus totals cover the government-controlled area only from 1975 onward, following the division of the island — the chart below starts there so a change of territory is never drawn as a change of population.

Age structure, 2025

Shares and ratios below are calculated here from single-year published figures — not published directly by Eurostat.

Median age

41.0^*years

2025

Children, 0-14

15.2%^*of population

15 single ages added together

Working age, 15-64

66.6%^*of population

50 single ages added together

65 and over

18.3%^*of population

36 single ages added together

Child dependency ratio

22.8%^*per 100 working-age

children 0-14 / working-age 15-64

Elderly dependency ratio

27.4%^*per 100 working-age

65+ / working-age 15-64

Total dependency ratio

50.2%^*per 100 working-age

(children + 65+) / working-age

“Working age” means 15-64 — it is not a measure of employment.

Population pyramid, 2025

The table holds the exact published figures; the chart below it is a visual supplement to the same data.

Median age, 1975-2025

Starts at 1975 deliberately — see the note above. A year with too little published age detail is left out rather than shown as a false figure.
