List of countries with the highest average age
Population aging is a problem that affects many countries, especially the most developed countries. It is therefore not surprising that the vast majority of countries with the highest average age of their population are European countries. Countries with a population of less than 100,000 were excluded from this list. Otherwise, countries like Monaco, Andorra and San Marino would be part of the top ten.
