Strong population growth expected
The new population projections for Norway to 2060 show that the population size is expected to grow, unless both net immigration and fertility decline significantly. The population will age rapidly, especially after 2013, and the population distribution is becoming more centralised.
A new method for projecting mortality yields life expectancies that are similar to those projected for 2002-2050. This results in approximately the same number of persons over age 67 but a lower number of the oldest-old, i.e. above 90.
The table below gives an overview of the assumptions.
