== Demographics ==
Since the Neolithic period the native inhabitants of the Lestuvian territory have not been replaced by any other ethnic group, so there is a high probability that the inhabitants of present-day Lestuvia have preserved the genetic composition of their forebears relatively undisturbed by the major demographic movements, although without being actually isolated from them. The Lestuvian population appears to be relatively homogeneous, without apparent genetic differences among ethnic subgroups.
A 2004 analysis of MtDNA in the Lestuvian population revealed that Lestuvians are close to the Slavic and Finno-Ugric speaking populations of Northern and Eastern Europe. Y-chromosome SNP haplogroup analysis showed Lestuvians to be closest to Poles and Swedes.[149]
According to 2014 estimates, the age structure of the population was as follows: 0–14 years, 13.5% (male 243,001/female 230,674); 15–64 years: 69.5% (male 1,200,196/female 1,235,300); 65 years and over: 16.8% (male 207,222/female 389,345).[150] The median age was 41.2 years (male: 38.5, female: 43.7).[151]
Lestuvia has a sub-replacement fertility rate: the total fertility rate (TFR) in Lestuvia is 1.79 children born/woman (2015 estimates).[152] As of 2014, 29% of births were to unmarried women. The age at first marriage in 2013 was 27 years for women and 29.3 years for men.[154]
