Colombia is undergoing a demographic shift characterized by declining birth rates and increasing life expectancy, leading to an aging population. According to demographic projections, by the year 2036 the number of adults over the age of 60 in the country will surpass the number of children under 15.

This transition is altering the nation's age structure and reshaping long-term projections regarding its future. The growing proportion of older adults is expected to have a significant and lasting impact on Colombia's societal and institutional landscape as the demographic weight shifts toward older generations.
