What the data shows

  • Italy: 46.4M in 1950, 35.4M in 2100 (projected). The latest estimate is 59.5M in 2023. It peaked at 60.7M in 2014.

About this chart

Italy was the 10th most populous country in the world in 1950, with 46.4 million people. Its population peaked at about 60.7 million in 2014 and slipped to 59.5 million by 2023, by which point it ranked 25th. Along the way it had passed 55.2 million in 1975 and 57.3 million in 2000.

The UN medium projection makes the decline much steeper than the rise: about 58.0 million in 2030, 51.9 million in 2050, 41.6 million in 2075 and 35.4 million in 2100. That final figure is below the 1950 population and about 24 million, or roughly 40 percent, under the 2023 estimate. Italy's projected rank is 40th in 2050 and 60th in 2100.
