Albanians live longer, but are poorer and less born

Albania and Kosovo result in two states that have a higher life expectancy, both for men and women, and still have a new population. But the two countries are Europe's poorest. Albania, unlike Kosovo, is moving towards rapid aging, as the fertility rate is the lowest second in the Balkans after Bosnia, while Kosovo has the highest. The two Albanian-speaking states have the highest population density in the Balkans.

Albanians, both Albania and Kosovo, are the longest in the region. The expectation of living for women is 81.6 years old in Kosovo, the highest of all other countries and 80.5 years in Albania. Northern Macedonia is 78.8, Montenegro (79.3), Serbia (78.4), Bosnia (78.8).

Men in Albania have an expectation of living longer than the entire Balkans, aged 77.4, versus 75.9 in Kosovo, 74.6 years old Macedonia, Montenegro (74.5), Serbia (73.5), Bosnia (73.7).

As they live longer, Albania's Albanians are rising and less, a tendency that can lead the country towards rapid aging.

Albania's fertility rate is second and low by other countries in the Balkans, with 1.37 births per woman, in proportion to 1.24 in northern Macedonia, 1.76 in Montenegro, 1.49 in Montenegro. The lowest, this rate is in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with 1.3 births for one woman, while the highest is in Kosovo with 1.65.

Albania still has a new population, with 17.2% of the total being under the age of 15, against 16.4% in northern Macedonia, 18% in Montenegro, 14.3% in Serbia, and 16.4% in Bosnia. But the youngest population is in Kosovo, with 24.4% of the total population.

Kosovo and Albania's per capita revenues are the lowest, reaching the level of 3,700 euros per capita respectively. The richest is Montenegro (7,500 euros per capita), Serbia (6,600 euros), North Macedonia (5,200), Bosnia (4,900 euros).

Population density is the highest in Kosovo (165 residents per km2), followed by Albania (100), Serbia (91), Northern Macedonia (83), Bosnia (68), Montenegro (46). /montor
