Aruba Population Pyramid 2009
Aruba in 2009
In 2009, Aruba had a total population of 99,026 people. A decade earlier, in 1999, the population was 86,471; it has grown by 14.5% since.
The median age was 37.7 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 30.4 children under 15 and 13.2 people aged 65 or over. This is an expansive pyramid — each cohort of children is larger than the one above it, the signature of high birth rates and rapid growth.
