Cyprus — Children under 15 and residents aged 65+ as shares of the population; percent, 2000 and 2024 estimates.
The share of Cyprus’s population under age 15 fell from 22.3% in 2000 to 15.2% in 2024. The share aged 65 or older rose from 11.3% to 18.3% over the same period. By 2024, the older group exceeded the child group by 3.1 percentage points. The two displayed age groups do not constitute the full age distribution, so their shares must not be treated as a two-part composition.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Under age 15 — 2000 | 22.3% | 2000 |
| 2 | Under age 15 — 2024 | 15.2% | 2024 |
| 3 | Age 65+ — 2000 | 11.3% | 2000 |
| 4 | Age 65+ — 2024 | 18.3% | 2024 |
