2054South America in 2054
By 2054, the population of South America is expected to reach 467,504,187. The projection for 2044 is nearly the same: 467,356,816.
The median age is projected at 44.2 years, with 24.2 children under 15 and 35.3 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
