Uruguay Population Pyramid 2050
Uruguay in 2050
In 2050, Uruguay is projected to have a population of 3,254,354 people. Compared with 2040, when the projection stands at 3,336,458, that represents a decline of 2.5% over ten years.
Half of the population would be younger than 46.1 years, with 13.6% children under 15 and 23.5% 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.
