Uruguay passed its population peak 5 years ago in 2020, and has since declined by 0.4%. The sex ratio of 94 males per 100 females is notably lower than the global average of ~101. The population is aging rapidly—median age will rise from 36 to 45 by 2050. Population density is low at 20 people per km². UN projections show a decline to 2.2M by 2100.
