NewzThe Dominican Republic is projected to undergo a significant demographic transition as its population structure shifts toward an older age profile. According to the new Estimaciones y Proyecciones Nacionales de Población 1950-2100, released by the national statistics office, the country is expected to reach a milestone in 2044. For the first time in its history, the number of individuals aged 60 and older will surpass the number of residents under the age of 15.
This demographic shift highlights a long-term trend in the nation's population development. The data, covering a 150-year span, serves as a baseline for understanding the future composition of the Dominican society and the potential implications of an aging population relative to the youth demographic.
