Argentina in numbers
45,538,401 people lived in Argentina in mid-2023: 0.56% of the world's people, and the 34th-largest population of the 236 countries and areas the UN reports. That is 2.7 times its 1950 population of 17.0 million.
The UN's medium projection has it peaking in 2050 at 48.3 million, then falling to 38.3 million by 2100. The projection is uncertain: on 1 January 2100 the UN's 95% range runs from 25.9 million to 54.5 million.
In the medium projection, deaths outnumber births every year from 2050 on.
The median age was 25.4 in 1950 and 33.1 in 2023; the projection has 52.7 in 2100. 12.2% of people were 65 or older in 2023, against 34.4% projected for 2100. The working-age population (15–64) is projected to peak in 2035 at 32.7 million.
By size it is the 34th country in 2023; the projection puts it 43rd in 2050 and 55th in 2100. In the medium projection it overtakes Spain in 2035, South Korea in 2043 and Italy in 2060. It is overtaken by Iraq in 2024, Afghanistan in 2027 and Yemen in 2029.

Who does the work in Argentina
On the UN's projection, Argentina will have the most working-age people it ever has in 2035: 32,664,100 people aged 15–64. In 2023 it had 29,876,100.

How to read this: take 100 people of working age — the orange row — and the two rows under it are the children (teal) and the people of 65 and over (violet) who lived alongside them in 2023.
Fewer than 50 dependants live alongside every 100 people aged 15–64 in 18 years: 2026–2043.

Who arrives in Argentina, and who leaves
In 2020–2025 Argentina gains 3,011 people a year: everyone who arrives, minus everyone who leaves. The age at which that happens most is 20–24, at 551 a year more arriving than leaving.
more arrive than leave more leave than arrive
How to read this: age runs left to right, babies to 100. A blue square above the line means arrivals outnumber departures at that age, an orange square below it means the opposite. The figures are the UN's projection for 2020–2025; nobody recorded migration by age before 2020.
In the years that were counted, 1950–2023, the most it gained in one year was 60,480 (1950) and the most it lost was 23,687 (2001).
In 2024, 1,958,039 people living in Argentina had been born in another country, 4 of every 100 people there, against 5 in 1990.

Years in good health in Argentina
Of the 74.6 years a baby born in Argentina in 2021 could expect, about 64.8 would be lived in full health (95% range 64.1–65.6). That leaves 9.8 years in less than full health, close to the world's 9.5.
