2038South America in 2038
By 2038, the population of South America is expected to reach 462,003,191. Compared with 2028, when the projection stands at 444,971,133, that represents growth of 3.8% over ten years.
Half of the population would be younger than 39.1 years, with 17.3% children under 15 and 15.6% 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.
