Belize Population Pyramid 2074
Belize in 2074
By 2074, the population of Belize is expected to reach 518,396. Compared with 2064, when the projection stands at 527,929, that represents a decline of 1.8% over ten years.
The median age is projected at 46.6 years, with 23.9 children under 15 and 42.6 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
