Belize Population Pyramid 2070
Belize in 2070
By 2070, the population of Belize is expected to reach 524,069. Compared with 2060, when the projection stands at 527,582, that represents a decline of 0.7% over ten years.
With a projected median age of 45.5 years, Belize would have a youth dependency ratio of 24.3 and an old-age dependency ratio of 39.3 per 100 people of working age. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
