2040Curaçao in 2040
In 2040, Curaçao is projected to have a population of 180,402 people. Ten years before, in 2030, the projected population is still 184,826 — a ten-year decline of 2.4%.
The median age is projected at 45.0 years, with 17.8 children under 15 and 34.9 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.
