2048Curaçao in 2048
By 2048, the population of Curaçao is expected to reach 175,045. Ten years before, in 2038, the projected population is still 181,547 — a ten-year decline of 3.6%.
Half of the population would be younger than 47.6 years, with 11.5% children under 15 and 23.6% aged 65 or older. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
