2049Curaçao in 2049
In 2049, Curaçao is projected to have a population of 174,283 people. Ten years before, in 2039, the projected population is still 181,000 — a ten-year decline of 3.7%.
The median age is projected at 47.9 years, with 17.7 children under 15 and 36.6 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
