This paper performs a descriptive analysis of the evolution of the main demographic variables in Peru to 2050. The evolution of the total fertility rate, the population structure by age, the dependency ratio and the demographic bonus are analyzed. It is observed that: (i) fertility is falling steadily and will reach 1,7 children per woman in 2050; (ii) the child population will be reduced while there will be an increase in the elderly population becoming more than 9 million in 2050; (iii) the dependency ratio will increase due to an increase in the elderly population.
