South America in 2099

In 2099, South America is projected to have a population of 381,590,942 people. That would be 6.2% less than in 2089 (406,777,994).

The median age is projected at 50.9 years, with 23.5 children under 15 and 59.9 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.
