Guatemala Population Pyramid 2085
Guatemala in 2085
In 2085, Guatemala is projected to have a population of 26,969,557 people. Ten years before, in 2075, the projected population is still 27,139,990 — a ten-year decline of 0.6%.
With a projected median age of 43.7 years, Guatemala would have a youth dependency ratio of 25.9 and an old-age dependency ratio of 38.1 per 100 people of working age. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
