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), 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.
