South America in 2063

In 2063, South America is projected to have a population of 459,432,480 people. Compared with 2053, when the projection stands at 467,946,815, that represents a decline of 1.8% over ten years.

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.
