Northern America in 2070

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Northern America at 447,170,393 in 2070. That would be 2.5% more than in 2060 (436,166,364).

With a projected median age of 45.0 years, Northern America would have a youth dependency ratio of 24.8 and an old-age dependency ratio of 43.9 per 100 people of working age. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
