More than 44 million people live in Ukraine.

10. Until 2050, the number of deaths in Ukraine could be nearly
twice the number of births. Accordingly, the population will
decline, and the proportion of Ukraine's population aged 65
and over will rise to 22% in 2050, up from 15% in 2015.
That jump will be greater if life expectancy increases. In
2012, life expectancy for men was 66 years and for women
76 years.
