Universidad Austral Study Finds Argentina's Population to Be Ageing
- The Universidad Austral published a study on May 16, 2025, showing Argentina's population aged 65 and over increased between 1970 and 2022.
- The study attributes this increase to a fertility rate below replacement levels and longer life expectancy amid recurring economic crises.
- Households with adults over 65 rose from 25% to 35%, those aged 85 and over grew from 1.5% to 11.8%, and births dropped by 40% since 2014.
- By 2022, the proportion of households without children under the age of 18 had risen to 57%, up from 44% in 1991, while single-person households nearly doubled from 13% to 25% during this period.
- These demographic changes point to a growing number of older adults alongside a decline in birth rates, prompting concerns about how Argentina’s social systems and future care requirements will be affected.
