2065Cabo Verde in 2065
By 2065, the population of Cabo Verde is expected to reach 548,115. Ten years before, in 2055, the projected population is still 564,662 — a ten-year decline of 2.9%.
The median age is projected at 49.3 years, with 20.3 children under 15 and 42.7 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.
