The Dominican Republic and its population projections for the future

The Dominican Republic is projected to undergo a significant demographic transition as its population structure shifts toward an older age profile. According to the new National Population Estimates and Projections 1950-2100, released by the National Statistics Office, the country is expected to reach a milestone in 2044 when the number of individuals aged 60 and older will surpass the population of those under 15 for the first time.

This demographic shift signals a long-term change in the nation's age distribution. These projections provide a statistical outlook on the country's population trajectory over the coming decades, highlighting the evolving balance between younger and older generations.
