I´m from Peru. My country is in South America. It is bordered in the north by Ecuador and Colombia, in the east by Brazil, in the southeast by Bolivia, in the south by Chile, and in the west by the Pacific Ocean.
The population in my country increased in the last years. The number of people in Peru was 7,023,111 in 1940, but it is 30,814,175 now.
The highest increase of population registered in Peru was between 1961 and 1972 because the demographic growth rate was 2.8%. Since 1972, the percent of increase of
population per year in Peru started to decline.
Peru has 24 regions and one province. The 61.4 % of Peruvian people lives in seven regions in my country: Lima, Piura, La Libertad, Cajamarca, Puno, Junín and Cusco. Lima is the most populous region in Peru with 9,541,000 people.
In Peru, there is a woman for each man. The Instituto Nacional de Estadistica e Informática says the percent of women in Peru is 49.4% currently.
The number of young people in Peru with an age between 15 and 29 years old is increasing fast. It was 7,421,162 in 2000, and 8,283,182 in 2013. Today, about the 27.2% of Peruvian population are young people.
Peru is the 42nd populous country in the world and China is the world's most populous country with a population of over 1.35 billion. Brazil is the most populous country in Latin America while Peru is the fifth.
The experts expect that Peru will have a population of 33,149,000 in 2021 and 8,512,764 will be the number of people with an age between 15 and 29 in that year.
