US population projected to grow slowly and age in 2025

The U.S. population is expected to continue aging and grow slowly in 2025, with a projected increase of only 0.5 percent, similar to last year. Experts note that this growth remains historically low. Demographers highlight that immigration will be crucial for population growth amid declining birth rates and an aging population. They warn that potential mass deportations could significantly impact communities and the labor force. The incoming administration plans to implement extensive deportation measures, focusing on undocumented migrants. This approach may affect various sectors, particularly construction and agriculture, according to experts.
