Colombia's working-age population has seen a consistent upward trajectory from 59.8% in 1990 to 69.7% in 2022. This increase reflects the country's economic stabilization and demographic shifts, alongside improvements in education and labor force inclusion. The rate notably reached its peak around 2020, reflecting strong demographic trends and a relatively youthful population. Economic factors, such as the growth of the service sector and foreign investments, also contributed to a growing working-age cohort, which stabilized around 69.7% from 2020 onward.
