About this chart

Chile's growth has nearly run its course. The population tripled from 6.6 million in 1950 to 19.7 million in 2023, passing 10.7 million in 1975 and 15.5 million in 2000. The UN medium projection has it peaking at about 20.5 million in 2041, only about 0.9 million above the 2023 level.

The decline is then steep. Chile is projected at 20.3 million in 2050, 17.5 million in 2075 and 13.4 million in 2100, below the 2000 level. Its world rank tracks the change: 55th in 1950, 65th in 2023, a projected 75th in 2050 and 90th in 2100. Source: UN World Population Prospects 2024, estimates through 2023 and projections after.
