South America Population Pyramid 2049
Year
2049South America in 2049
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of South America at 468,719,854 in 2049. Compared with 2039, when the projection stands at 463,176,586, that represents growth of 1.2% over ten years.
Half of the population would be younger than 42.7 years, with 15.8% children under 15 and 20.0% 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.
