Demographic Brief
AI-Assisted Demographic Assessment — distinct from observed data.
AI-Assisted Demographic Assessment
Brazil's demographic window is closing faster than commonly perceived: fertility has fallen to 1.62 and aging is accelerating despite a still-young median age. The next decade is critical for pension sustainability and labor-market formalization. Migration plays only a marginal role, leaving fiscal outcomes dependent on domestic productivity gains.
Confidence: Medium (70%)
Uncertainty: Long-horizon demographic projections carry meaningful uncertainty.
