In one year the number of Hungarian citizens above 65-year-old increased by 52,000 persons which means that the ageing of the Hungarian population is unstoppable. The percentage of 65-year-old Hungarians and above is also higher than the citizens below 14 years.

Portfólió reported that the official statistics that show the numbers of the population of Hungary estimate that approximately two million Hungarian citizens are above 65-year-old; a number which has not been reported before. The number of people between 14 and 64 years decreased rapidly.

Out of one hundred Hungarians, twenty-two are below 14 years and thirty above 65.

Alongside with the increase of the elderly people in Hungary, the number of young citizens decreases rapidly. The number of these two age groups first became equal in 2005 and since then has been changing year by year.
