South America in 2055

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of South America at 466,969,650 in 2055. The total would be almost unchanged from 2045 (467,844,218). The median age is projected at 44.4 years, with 24.2 children under 15 and 36.1 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.
