Panama Population Pyramid 2098
Panama in 2098
In 2098, Panama is projected to have a population of 5,927,197 people. Ten years before, in 2088, the projected population is still 6,008,242 — a ten-year decline of 1.3%.
With a projected median age of 48.8 years, Panama would have a youth dependency ratio of 25.4 and an old-age dependency ratio of 56.2 per 100 people of working age. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
