Mexico Population Pyramid 2048
Mexico in 2048

With a projected median age of 39.0 years, Mexico would have a youth dependency ratio of 27.1 and an old-age dependency ratio of 24.7 per 100 people of working age. The near-vertical sides of the pyramid indicate a stationary age structure, with births roughly balancing the passage of cohorts into older age.
