About this chart

Argentina's story is a long climb followed by a projected turn. The population rose from 17.0 million in 1950 to 25.9 million in 1975 and 37.2 million in 2000, reaching 45.5 million in 2023. Growth has been slowing, and the UN medium projection has the country peaking at about 48.3 million in 2050.

After that the line bends downward: about 45.1 million in 2075 and 38.3 million in 2100, roughly 10 million fewer people than at the peak. Argentina's world rank has already slipped from 27th in 1950 to 34th in 2023, and the projection takes it to 43rd in 2050 and 55th in 2100. Data are UN World Population Prospects 2024, with projections after 2023.

What is the population of Argentina?

Argentina had about 45.5 million people in 2023, the latest UN estimate, which ranks 34th in the world. The UN projects about 46.6 million by 2030.
