Central America in 2099

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Central America at 198,002,926 in 2099. Ten years before, in 2089, the projected population is still 207,415,676 — a ten-year decline of 4.5%.

With a projected median age of 49.0 years, Central America would have a youth dependency ratio of 24.4 and an old-age dependency ratio of 54.4 per 100 people of working age. The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
