Northern America in 2046

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Northern America at 422,262,787 in 2046. Compared with 2036, when the projection stands at 407,977,338, that represents growth of 3.5% over ten years.

The median age is projected at 42.7 years, with 25.6 children under 15 and 37.2 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.
