South America Population Pyramid 2043
Year
2043South America in 2043
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of South America at 466,753,942 in 2043. Ten years before, in 2033, the projected population is 454,639,700 — 2.7% lower.
Half of the population would be younger than 40.8 years, with 16.6% children under 15 and 17.5% aged 65 or older. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
