Analysis# Chile Population Analysis
Chile's population of 19.76 million represents a moderately growing nation ranked 65th globally, with a 10.64% increase over the past decade translating to roughly 1.88 million new residents. The country's growth trajectory has substantially decelerated since its peak in the 1960s, reflecting demographic shifts typical of middle-income countries as fertility rates decline and education levels rise. At its current pace, Chile's population growth significantly lags both regional peers and its historical expansion rates, suggesting stabilization in the coming decades.
