About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the data for the Brazil, IN population pyramid, which represents the Brazil population distribution across age and gender, using estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2018-2022 5-Year Estimates. It lists the male and female population for each age group, along with the total population for those age groups. Higher numbers at the bottom of the table suggest population growth, whereas higher numbers at the top indicate declining birth rates. Furthermore, the dataset can be utilized to understand the youth dependency ratio, old-age dependency ratio, total dependency ratio, and potential support ratio.

Key observations

• Youth dependency ratio, which is the number of children aged 0-14 per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Brazil, IN, is 29.7.
• Old-age dependency ratio, which is the number of persons aged 65 or over per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Brazil, IN, is 29.1.
• Total dependency ratio for Brazil, IN is 58.7.
• Potential support ratio, which is the number of youth (working age population) per elderly, for Brazil, IN is 3.4.

This dataset is a part of the main dataset for Brazil Population by Age. You can refer the same here

This statistic shows the age structure in Brazil from 2013 to 2023. In 2023 about 19.94 percent of Brazil's total population were aged 0 to 14 years. Population of Brazil Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world by area and population and the largest in both South America and the Latin American region. With a total population of more than 200 million inhabitants in 2013, Brazil also ranks fifth in terms of population numbers. Brazil is a founding member of the United Nations, the G20, CPLP, and a member of the BRIC countries. BRIC is an acronym for Brazil, Russia, India, and China, the four major emerging market countries. The largest cities in Brazil are São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Salvador. São Paulo alone reports over 11.1 million inhabitants. Due to a steady increase in the life expectancy in Brazil, the average age of the population has also rapidly increased. From 1950 until 2015, the average age of the population increased by an impressive 12 years; in 2015, the average age of the population in Brazil was reported to be around 31 years. As a result of the increasing average age, the percentage of people aged between 15 and 64 years has also increased: In 2013, about 68.4 percent of the population in Brazil was aged between 15 and 64 years.

Definition: Relative weight of a given age group in both sexes, men and women, for each population category (indigenous) Thematic Area: Demographics (CELADE) Application Area: Demographics Unit of Measurement: Percentage Data Source: CELADE (Latin American & Caribbean Demographic Center)- Population Division of ECLAC, on the basis of national population censuses microdata sets Comments: The processes of cultural assimilation, as well as the recent trends of ethnic-cultural revitalization, can have a differential impact on the different generations and therefore affect age structures, making it difficult to quantify the effect of these phenomena. For example, the narrowing of a population pyramid in the young-adult ages (reducing the base and widening the center) is probably due to a decline in fertility, but it may also be affected by a process of ethnic reworking of recent generations. This indicator does not include imputation of ethnicity in the population not captured by the corresponding questions (for example, children under 5 years of age in the 2000 Mexican census, or children under 3 years of age in the 2010 census). Regarding the processing of census data, the following considerations must be made: Mexico (2000 and 2010) and Panama (2000 and 2010): The population with unknown age is excluded from the totals and/or percentages calculated from them. Bolivia (Plurinational State of) (2001), Brazil (2000 and 2010), Colombia (2005 and 2018), Costa Rica (2000 and 2011), Mexico (2000 and 2010), Nicaragua (2005), Peru (2017), Uruguay (2011) and Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of) (2001 and 2011): The population with unknown ethnic-racial condition does not appear in the population totals neither in the percentages calculated from them. Bolivia (Plurinational State of) (2001) and Mexico (2000 and 2010): The data correspond to the population residing in occupied private households. Brazil (2010), Costa Rica (2000 and 2011), Paraguay (2002) and Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of ) (2001 and 2011): These countries have indigenous censuses (of territories or communities), carried out in parallel with the general census. The databases used constitute an integration of the information captured in both when it is possible. Brazil (2000 and 2010) and Mexico (2000 and 2010): The databases used correspond to samples. In Brazil, the expanded figures are rounded. Argentina (2010), Panama (2010), Uruguay (2011) and Mexico (2020): Ethnic-racial identification is carried out in a combined manner (indigenous and Afro-descendant). In these countries, the relative measures are calculated by assigning these people to the ethnic-racial category with the fewest cases. The definition of urban was established according to the criteria provided by each country. Last Update: Jul 12 2023 5:50PM Source Organization: Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean
