Belize in 2032
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Belize at 459,518 in 2032. Ten years before, in 2022, the projected population is 402,733 — 14.1% lower.
Half of the population would be younger than 31.2 years, with 23.8% children under 15 and 6.9% aged 65 or older. This is a stationary pyramid — similar numbers in each age group up to the older cohorts, the signature of near-replacement fertility.
