Belize Population Pyramid 2082
Belize in 2082
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Belize at 500,966 in 2082. Ten years before, in 2072, the projected population is still 521,539 — a ten-year decline of 3.9%.
With a projected median age of 48.6 years, Belize would have a youth dependency ratio of 23.2 and an old-age dependency ratio of 47.7 per 100 people of working age. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
