El Salvador is projected to be the first country in Central America to reach its population peak, with an estimated 6,687,400 inhabitants by 2042. Following this milestone, the nation is expected to undergo a demographic decline, with projections indicating the population will fall below five million by the end of the century.
In a separate demographic trend, the Dominican Republic is preparing for a significant shift in its population structure. By 2044, the country is expected to reach a point where the number of citizens aged 60 and older exceeds the number of those under 15 years of age, according to national population estimates covering the period from 1950 to 2100.
