2037South America in 2037
By 2037, the population of South America is expected to reach 460,731,406. Compared with 2027, when the projection stands at 442,773,131, that represents growth of 4.1% over ten years.
Half of the population would be younger than 38.7 years, with 17.5% children under 15 and 15.3% 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.
