Germany's aging population and low youth percentage
The data indicates that the proportion of young people (aged 15 to 24) in Germany reached 10.0% at the end of last year, marking the lowest historic level in two decades and well below the peak of 16.7% recorded in 1983. Eastern Germany, particularly the states of Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and Saxony-Anhalt, suffers from a significant shortage of young people, with rates ranging from 8.8% to 9.7%. In contrast, major cities such as Bremen and Hamburg have higher percentages, reaching 11.1% and 10.5%, respectively. Data from early 2025 shows that Germany’s youth percentage is slightly below the EU average of 10.7%, but migration increases the figure to 12.2% among the migrant population, compared to 8.5% among non-migrants. This highlights the important role of migration in maintaining the country’s youth demographic.
