Población en Uruguay aumentó un 1% y se contabilizan 3.444.263 habitantes

The 2023 Census reveals a stagnant national population, with only a 1% growth over twelve years, driven primarily by urban concentration in specific departments rather than organic expansion. Without significant immigration, the country faces demographic decline due to falling birth rates and rising mortality, marking a critical shift in its social structure. This accelerated aging process, evidenced by a sharp increase in the elderly population and more deaths than births, poses substantial challenges for public policy. It necessitates a fundamental reevaluation of long-term strategies regarding healthcare, social security, and care systems to adapt to the realities of an older citizenry. The data is vital for open data initiatives as it provides the empirical foundation for evidence-based governance. By making these demographic trends transparent, stakeholders can analyze how population aging impacts resource allocation, urban planning, and social services. This transparency allows civil society and policymakers to collaborate effectively on designing sustainable interventions that address the growing needs of an aging society.
