2085South America in 2085
By 2085, the population of South America is expected to reach 416,622,669. That would be 5.1% less than in 2075 (439,155,991).
The median age is projected at 49.8 years, with 23.8 children under 15 and 56.7 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
