Nicaragua in 2075

With a projected median age of 43.3 years, Nicaragua would have a youth dependency ratio of 26.1 and an old-age dependency ratio of 36.6 per 100 people of working age. The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
