Guatemala's median age and demographic dividend
- Workforce, education and talent
- The labor force, in numbers
- not audited
Guatemala's median age is 23.8 according to UN World Population Prospects 2024 (medium variant, via Worldometers). The 15-to-64 age group represents 63.6% of the total in 2024 and 64.0% in 2025 (World Bank, SP.POP.1564.TO.ZS), meaning the working-age share is still rising. A secondary source (UNFPA/press) cited a median age of 28.1 for 2024, which contradicts the WPP figure; the dossier flags it for arbitration during the verification phase and adopts WPP as the international standard.
The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
