Armenia’s population is estimated to drop from 2.97 million to between
2.3 million and 2.5 million by 2050, according to a survey released
on Monday.
The prediction was made in accordance with the country’s current
birth rate.
Gagik Hayrapetyan, director of the Armenian NGO Population Fund,
told a press conference in Yerevan that statistics showed 57 percent
of the Armenian households now have on average two children instead
of three or four.
The same sampling survey has also found that two-thirds of the
respondents do not want to have their second child in the next
three years.
A 2006 estimate showed that Armenia’s population was 2.97 million.
