Analysis# Peru Population Analysis
Peru's population of 34.2 million ranks 48th globally, having grown 13.62% over the past decade—a significant deceleration from the 1961s peak growth period, indicating a demographic transition toward lower fertility rates. The 64-year dataset (1960–2024) reveals sustained growth despite this recent slowdown, suggesting Peru's population will likely continue expanding but at moderating rates as urbanization and rising education levels, particularly among women, further reduce fertility. This growth trajectory positions Peru as a substantial but no longer rapidly expanding demographic entity within Latin America, with implications for labor market demand and resource allocation.
