Brazil in 2042

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Brazil at 219,319,761 in 2042. Compared with 2032, when the projection stands at 217,055,384, that represents growth of 1.0% over ten years.

The median age is projected at 42.4 years, with 23.5 children under 15 and 28.2 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.
