11. Austria

Median age: 43.6

With 18.92 percents of citizens older than 65 and median age 43.6, Austria has one of the oldest nations in Europe. According to Aging Report, by 2060 the country will lose 181 thousand working age residents while expenditure for pensions will increase by 0.5 percent. Loss of labor force is partly compensated by net migration rate that is one of the highest in Europe. The majority of emigrants are young people who move to Austria in search of employment opportunities. Moreover, together with Germany, Austria is the country that has received the largest influx of immigrants from Syria and other war zones during this year.
