Central America in 2070

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Central America at 218,690,577 in 2070. The projection for 2060 is nearly the same: 219,201,532.

The median age is projected at 44.4 years, with 25.3 children under 15 and 38.3 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
