Venezuela in numbers

Venezuela had 28,300,854 people in mid-2023, the 53rd-largest population of the 236 countries and areas the UN reports, and 0.35% of the world's people. That is 5.2 times its 1950 population of 5.5 million.

The UN's medium projection has it peaking in 2057 at 31.2 million, then falling to 28.3 million by 2100. The projection is uncertain: on 1 January 2100 the UN's 95% range runs from 9.3 million to 72.5 million.

Births stay ahead of deaths until 2070; in the medium projection, deaths are ahead every year after it.

The median age was 17.1 in 1950 and 30.0 in 2023; the projection has 47.4 in 2100. 9.3% of people were 65 or older in 2023, against 28.1% projected for 2100. The working-age population (15–64) is projected to peak in 2062 at 20.3 million.

Its place in the world by population: 53rd in 2023, 62nd in 2050, 66th in 2100. In the medium projection it overtakes Ukraine in 2053, Poland in 2057 and South Korea in 2078. It is overtaken by Niger in 2026, Syria in 2030 and Mali in 2031.

Venezuela, 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 Venezuela

On the UN's projection, Venezuela will have the most working-age people it ever has in 2062: 20,324,900 people aged 15–64. In 2023 it had 18,257,600.

Who arrives in Venezuela, and who leaves

In 2020–2025 Venezuela loses 200,960 people a year: everyone who arrives, minus everyone who leaves. The age at which that happens most is 20–24, at 37,152 a year more leaving than arriving.

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.

In the years that were counted, 1950–2023, the most it gained in one year was 62,817 (1950) and the most it lost was 1,355,602 (2018).

In 2024, 1,263,304 people living in Venezuela had been born in another country, 4 of every 100 people there, against 5 in 1990.

Years in good health in Venezuela

Of the 71.2 years a baby born in Venezuela in 2021 could expect, about 62.0 would be lived in full health (95% range 61.2–62.9). That leaves 9.2 years in less than full health, close to the world's 9.5.
