This is how Bavaria's population will change - two factors play a major role. For every 100 employed people, there will be 45 pensioners who are 65 years of age or older.

The average age of Bavarians will rise from 44 to 45.4 years within two decades. The administrative region of Swabia will be one of the places that will change the most. This is where the most growth is expected. According to the State Statistical Office, Swabian's population is expected to increase by 155,000 to 2.1 million.
