Panama Population Pyramid 2055
Panama in 2055
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Panama at 5,757,099 in 2055. That would be 5.2% more than in 2045 (5,473,276).
The median age is projected at 40.7 years, with 28.2 children under 15 and 32.4 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.
