2027South America in 2027
In 2027, South America is projected to have a population of 442,773,131 people. Ten years before, in 2017, the projected population is 417,045,304 — 6.2% lower.
Half of the population would be younger than 34.9 years, with 20.1% children under 15 and 11.7% aged 65 or older. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
