Latin America and the Caribbean in numbers

Latin America and the Caribbean had 658,891,516 people in mid-2023, 8.1% of the world's people. That is 3.9 times its 1950 population of 168 million. It covers 50 countries and areas; the largest are Brazil (32.0%), Mexico (19.7%), Colombia (7.9%), Argentina (6.9%) and Peru (5.1%).

The UN's medium projection has it peaking in 2053 at 731 million, then falling to 613 million by 2100.

Births stay ahead of deaths until 2055; in the medium projection, deaths are ahead every year after it.

AGG · 1950–2100 · every age, every year

Latin America and the Caribbean, every age in every year

Each column is a year and each row an age; the denser the ink in a cell, the more people. Everyone born in the same year climbs one 45° diagonal, so famines, baby booms and migration show up as streaks. Select a cell to follow its generation.

Who does the work in Latin America and the Caribbean

On the UN's projection, Latin America and the Caribbean will have the most working-age people it ever has in 2041: 478,177,000 people aged 15–64. In 2023 it had 445,314,000.

100 aged 15–64

aged 15–64 children under 15 aged 65 and over

How to read this: the orange squares are 100 people aged 15–64 in 2023, and the rows below are how many children (teal) and how many people aged 65 or older (violet) lived alongside them.

Fewer than 50 dependants live alongside every 100 people aged 15–64 in 25 years: 2016–2040.

fewer than 50 dependants per 100 the same, projected 50 or more

How to read this: the strip runs 1950 to 2100. Coloured years are the ones with under 50 dependants for every 100 people aged 15–64; grey years are the rest, and a hatched year has not happened yet.

AGG · arrivals minus departures

Who arrives in Latin America and the Caribbean, and who leaves

In 2020–2025 Latin America and the Caribbean loses 442,450 people a year: everyone who arrives, minus everyone who leaves. The age at which that happens most is 20–24, at 83,467 a year more leaving than arriving.

one square = 10,000 people a year

020406080+

more arrive than leave more leave than arrive

How to read this: left to right is age, from babies to 100. Blue squares above the line are ages at which more people arrive than leave; orange squares below it, ages at which more leave than arrive. These are the UN's projection for 2020–2025. There is no record of migration by age before 2020.

Its best and worst years between 1950 and 2023: a gain of -79,941 (1950), and a loss of 1,092,773 (2003).

This is a group of countries, so its figure counts only moves across its own outer edge: someone moving from one country inside it to another does not appear.
