South America in 2040

In 2040, South America is projected to have a population of 464,245,166 people. Ten years before, in 2030, the projected population is 449,102,412 — 3.4% lower. The median age is projected at 39.8 years, with 25.6 children under 15 and 24.6 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). The near-vertical sides of the pyramid indicate a stationary age structure, with births roughly balancing the passage of cohorts into older age.
