Panama Population Pyramid 2050
Panama in 2050
In 2050, Panama is projected to have a population of 5,630,680 people. That would be 6.5% more than in 2040 (5,286,592).
The median age is projected at 39.2 years, with 29.2 children under 15 and 29.4 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.
