Guatemala Population Pyramid 2050
Guatemala in 2050

Half of the population would be younger than 34.0 years, with 21.6% children under 15 and 9.6% aged 65 or older. The near-vertical sides of the pyramid indicate a stationary age structure, with births roughly balancing the passage of cohorts into older age.
