South America in 2080

In 2080, South America is projected to have a population of 428,348,802 people. Ten years before, in 2070, the projected population is still 448,707,085 — a ten-year decline of 4.5%.

The median age is projected at 49.2 years, with 23.8 children under 15 and 54.1 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
