South America in 2100

By 2100, the population of South America is expected to reach 379,097,350. That would be 6.2% less than in 2090 (404,275,306).

With a projected median age of 51.0 years, South America would have a youth dependency ratio of 23.5 and an old-age dependency ratio of 60.2 per 100 people of working age. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
