According to the new National Population Estimates and Projections 1950-2100 by the National Office of Statistics, the Dominican Republic is heading toward a significant shift in its demographic structure. By the year 2044, the country is projected to have more people aged 60 and older than minors under 15 for the first time in its history.

This demographic milestone highlights an aging population trend within the Dominican Republic, moving away from a predominantly younger demographic base. The projections span a century-long analytical framework from 1950 to 2100 to map out these long-term structural changes.
