Nicaragua Population Pyramid 2080
Nicaragua in 2080
In 2080, Nicaragua is projected to have a population of 9,164,172 people. Compared with 2070, when the projection stands at 9,235,612, that represents a decline of 0.8% over ten years.
The median age is projected at 44.4 years, with 25.8 children under 15 and 40.0 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
