Population growth in Colombia in 2021-2040 will be driven by positive rates of natural change. Ageing will accelerate, causing the population structure to become more top heavy, which will impact consumer trends and put more pressure on state resources. As urbanisation continues, Bogota will continue to dominate the urban landscape. Colombia...
Population growth will be driven by natural increase as net migration rates remain negative in 2021-2040. The ageing trend is set to accelerate with rapid growth in the 70+ age cohorts. Consumer trends will transform, and state resources will come under pressure as the age composition becomes more top heavy. Urban shift will be swift, creating...
After peaking in 2024, China’s population will decline up to 2040 as deaths overtake births. Rapid ageing, exacerbated by the legacy of the one child policy, will impact consumer trends and put further pressure on state resources. Urbanisation will continue to be swift, as eight out of the 10 major megacities are expected to expand. China...
Rapid population growth in Bolivia in 2021-2040 will be driven by positive, yet declining, rates of natural increase. While the ageing trend will quicken, Bolivia will remain one of the younger regional countries due to relatively high birth rates and low life expectancy. Urbanisation will be brisk. As the population surges and incomes rise,...
Population expansion in Kuwait will be driven by positive natural increase and net migration up to 2040. Foreign citizens will continue to account for the majority of the population due to the country’s historic and continuing reliance on foreign labour. Ageing will be a key demographic theme, impacting consumer trends and putting more pressure...
Population expansion in South Africa will be propelled predominantly by natural increase up to 2040. Declining birth rates and rising longevity will encourage ageing; however, life expectancy will stay relatively low, and the country will remain young from a global perspective. Urban shift will be rapid, as Johannesburg remains the dominant...
Rapid population expansion in 2021-2040 will be driven by natural increase. The ageing trend will accelerate; however, Myanmar will remain relatively young in a regional context and if prepared it could take advantage of a demographic dividend over this timeframe. Major cities are expected to swell rapidly causing some challenges. Rising incomes...
Population expansion Kenya in 2021-2040 will be driven exclusively by positive rates of natural change. While ageing will quicken over this timeframe, Kenya will remain an overwhelmingly young country and its expanding workforce has the potential to generate an economic dividend. Urbanisation will be rapid but the urban population share will...
Steady population expansion in Chile up to 2040 will be influenced by natural increase and after 2030, positive net migration. Ageing will be a key theme as older groups surge, transforming consumer trends. Chile will remain one of the most urbanised regional countries, while Santiago continues to dominate the urban landscape. Economic growth...
Germany’s population is set to decline up to 2040, after peaking in 2022, as net migration rates fall, and natural decrease occurs. Ageing is set to quicken as people live longer and birth rates drop, resulting in major changes in consumer trends and a further burden on state resources. Urbanisation will continue to be a key theme. Germany’s...
