Guatemala Population Pyramid 2032
Guatemala in 2032
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Guatemala at 20,605,384 in 2032. Compared with 2022, when the projection stands at 17,847,877, that represents growth of 15.5% over ten years.
Half of the population would be younger than 27.2 years, with 27.3% children under 15 and 5.8% aged 65 or older. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
