Belize Population Pyramid 2046
Belize in 2046
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Belize at 508,114 in 2046. That would be 6.5% more than in 2036 (477,231).
Half of the population would be younger than 37.3 years, with 19.2% children under 15 and 11.2% aged 65 or older. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
