As of 2023, the largest segment of the population in Latin America falls within the age group of 19 to 30 years, which consists of the youth population. This age range comprises approximately 127.9 million individuals across the countries encompassing the region.

The average for 2023 based on 12 countries was 50.47 percent. The highest value was in Uruguay: 51.51 percent and the lowest value was in Paraguay: 49.85 percent. The indicator is available from 1960 to 2023. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

The Latin America and the Caribbean Population Time Series data set provides total population estimates using spatially consistent and comparable Units for Latin American municipalities or equivalent administrative Units for the years 1990 and 2000. The data set consists of two vector polygon layers: one layer displays population estimates for subnational administrative Units in 1990 and 2000, including population counts, density, and percent change, at the municipality level or equivalent (level 2); a second layer summarizes this information at the country level (level 0).

The statistic shows age distribution in Latin America & Caribbean between 2014 to 2024. In 2024, around 22.51 percent of the population of Latin America & Caribbean was between 0 and 14 years old, 67.65 percent was between 15 and 64 and 9.84 percent was 65 years old and over.

The population of Latin America and the Caribbean increased from 175 million in 1950 to 515 million in 2000. Where did this growth occur? What is the magnitude of change in different places? How can we visualize the geographic dimensions of population change in Latin America and the Caribbean? We compiled census and other public domain information to analyze both temporal and geographic changes in population in the region. Our database includes population totals for over 18,300 administrative districts within Latin America and the Caribbean. Tabular census data was linked to an administrative division map of the region and handled in a geographic information system. We transformed vector population maps to raster surfaces to make the digital maps comparable with other commonly available geographic information. Validation and error-checking analyses were carried out to compare the database with other sources of population information. The digital population maps created in this project have been put in the public domain and can be downloaded from our website. The Latin America and Caribbean map is part of a larger multi-institutional effort to map population in developing countries. This is the third version of the Latin American and Caribbean population database and it contains new data from the 2000 round of censuses and new and improved accessibility surfaces for creating the raster maps.

The annual population growth in Latin America & the Caribbean increased by 0.1 percentage points (+16.67 percent) in 2023 in comparison to the previous year. In total, the population growth amounted to 0.69 percent in 2023. Population growth refers to the annual change in population, and is based on the balance between birth and death rates, as well as migration.

The average for 2023 based on 12 countries was 0.46 percent. The highest value was in Brazil: 2.71 percent and the lowest value was in Guyana: 0.01 percent. The indicator is available from 1960 to 2023. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

The average for 2023 based on 12 countries was 0.81 percent. The highest value was in Venezuela: 1.88 percent and the lowest value was in Uruguay: 0.01 percent. The indicator is available from 1961 to 2023. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

The share of urban population in Brazil saw no significant changes in 2023 in comparison to the previous year 2022 and remained at around 87.79 percent. Still, the share reached its highest value in the observed period in 2023. A country's urbanization rate refers to the share of the total population living in an urban setting. International comparisons of urbanization rates may be inconsistent, due to discrepancies between definitions of what constitutes an urban center (based on population size, area, or space between dwellings, among others).Find more statistics on other topics about Brazil with key insights such as anual population growth.

In 2023, the share of urban population in Bolivia remained nearly unchanged at around 71.19 percent. Nevertheless, 2023 still represents a peak in the share in Bolivia with 71.19 percent. A population may be defined as urban depending on the size (population or area) or population density of the village, town, or city. The urbanization rate then refers to the share of the total population who live in an urban setting. International comparisons may be inconsistent due to differing parameters for what constitutes an urban center.Find more key insights for the share of urban population in countries like Ecuador and Peru.
