Uruguay Population Pyramid 2033
Uruguay in 2033
In 2033, Uruguay is projected to have a population of 3,364,648 people. Compared with 2023, when the projection stands at 3,388,081, that represents a decline of 0.7% over ten years.
Half of the population would be younger than 40.2 years, with 14.8% children under 15 and 18.5% aged 65 or older. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
