Bolivia population 2022

During 2022 Bolivia population is projected to increase by 186,792 people and reach 12,145,304 in the beginning of 2023. The natural increase is expected to be positive, as the number of births will exceed the number of deaths by 201,142. If external migration will remain on the previous year level, the population will be declined by 14,350 due to the migration reasons. It means that the number of people who leave Bolivia to settle permanently in another country (emigrants) will prevail over the number of people who move into the country (to which they are not native) in order to settle there as permanent residents (immigrants).

Population change rates in 2022

According to our estimations, daily change rates of Bolivia population in 2022 will be the following:

  • 799 live births average per day (33.28 in an hour)
  • 248 deaths average per day (10.32 in an hour)
  • -39 emigrants average per day (-1.64 in an hour)
The population of Bolivia will be increasing by 512 persons daily in 2022.

As of 1 January 2022, the population of Bolivia was estimated to be 11,958,512 people. This is an increase of 1.56 % (183,919 people) compared to population of 11,774,593 the year before. In 2021 the natural increase was positive, as the number of births exceeded the number of deaths by 198,049. Due to external migration, the population declined by 14,130. The sex ratio of the total population was 0.996 (996 males per 1,000 females) which is lower than global sex ratio. The global sex ratio in the world was approximately 1,016 males to 1,000 females as of 2021.

Below are the key figures for Bolivia population in 2021:

  • 287,065 live births
  • 89,016 deaths
  • Natural increase: 198,049 people
  • Net migration: -14,130 people
  • 5,966,553 males as of 31 December 2021
  • 5,991,959 females as of 31 December 2021

Growth Rate 1952 - 2022

Bolivia population density is 10.9 people per square kilometer (28.2/mi2) as of August 2022. Density of population is calculated as permanently settled population of Bolivia divided by total area of the country. Total area is the sum of land and water areas within international boundaries and coastlines of Bolivia. The total area of Bolivia is 1,098,580 km2 (424,164 mi2) according to the United Nations Statistics Division

What is the population of bolivia
(Sunday, August 07 2022).

As of the beginning of 2022 according to our estimates Bolivia had the following population age distribution:


In absolute figures (estimate):

  • 4,141,831 young people under 15 years old ( 2,110,079 males / 2,031,751 females)
  • 7,261,567 persons between 15 and 64 years old ( 3,562,560 males / 3,699,007 females)
  • 555,114 persons above 64 years old ( 245,628 males / 309,486 females)

We prepared a simplified model of the population distribution pyramid which is broken down into 3 main age groups. The groups are the same as we used above: population under 15, between 15 and 64 and population which is over 65 year old.

Note: The pyramid provided is not corresponding to data given above because the age groups have different number of years.

As we can see the Bolivia population pyramid has an expanding type. This type of pyramid is common for developing countries with high birth and death rates. Relatively short life expectancy, as well as low level of education and poor health care are also describe such kind of population age distribution model.

Dependency ratio of population is a ratio of people who are generally not in the labor force (the dependents) to workforce of a country (the productive part of population). The dependent part includes the population under 15 years old and people aged 65 and over. The productive part of population accordingly consists of population between 15 and 64 years.

This ratio shows the pressure on productive population produced by the dependent part of population.

The total dependency ratio of population in Bolivia is 64.7 %.

What does this value mean? It shows that the dependent part of population is more than a half of the working part. It means that the working population (labor force) in Bolivia must provide goods for itself and cover expenditure on children and aged persons (this population is more than a half of working population). The value of more than 50% shows that the pressure on productive population in Bolivia is relatively high.

Child dependency ratio

Child dependency ratio is a ratio of people below working age (under 15) to workforce of a country.

Child dependency ratio in Bolivia is 57 %.

Aged dependency ratio

Aged dependency ratio is a ratio of people above working age (65+) to workforce of a country.

Aged dependency ratio in Bolivia is 7.6 %.

Life expectancy at birth is one of the most important demographic indicator. It shows the number of years a newborn infant would live assuming that birth and death rates will remain at the same level during the whole lifetime.

Total life expectancy (both sexes) at birth for Bolivia is 67.6 years.
This is below the average life expectancy at birth of the global population which is about 71 years (according to Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations).

What is the population of bolivia

Male life expectancy at birth is 64.8 years.
Female life expectancy at birth is 70.4 years.

According to our estimates 7,474,349 persons or 95.62% of adult population (aged 15 years and above) in Bolivia are able to read and write. Accordingly about 342,332 adults are illiterate.

Literacy rate for adult male population is 97.78% (3,723,722 persons). 84,466 are illiterate.
Literacy rate for adult female population is 93.57% (3,750,627 persons). 257,866 are illiterate.

Youth literacy rates are 99.19% and 98.89% for males and females accordingly. The overall youth literacy rate is 99.04%. Youth literacy rate definition covers the population between the ages of 15 to 24 years.
