About this chart

The UN projects Germany to reach 70.90 million people in 2100, below its 2023 estimate of 84.55 million. At the estimated endpoint, Germany has 84.55 million people against 66.44 million for France. In 1950, the corresponding totals were 69.85 million for Germany and 41.88 million for France. All values are population totals, rather than population density or annual growth rates.

By 2100, the UN medium-variant projection reaches 70.90 million people for Germany and 68.48 million for France. Estimates end in 2023; later values are conditional projections rather than observed counts. Future fertility, mortality and migration can move the eventual totals away from this path. Comparing the same projection variant keeps the two countries on a consistent basis.
