With a projected median age of 46.6 years, South America would have a youth dependency ratio of 23.7 and an old-age dependency ratio of 42.5 per 100 people of working age. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
