Central Africa is growing fastest, by a wide margin

Chad leads this ranking with population growth of 42.6% over the past ten years, followed by Somalia (41.5%), Niger (39.3%), D.R. Congo (38.7%) and Syria (37.9%). Four of the top five are in Central or East Africa, and the pattern extends well beyond the top five: this ranking and our youngest median age ranking are nearly the same list in a different order, because a young population is, almost by definition, a fast-growing one — most of today's population wasn't yet born ten years ago, and a large cohort now entering childbearing age keeps growth high even before considering any further fertility change.

Syria is the exception worth explaining

Syria's presence in the top five isn't a fertility story like its neighbours — it reflects the post-2011 civil war and the return of refugees and displaced people to a population base that had been sharply depleted, an example of how this ranking's ten-year window can pick up recovery from a shock as easily as organic growth. It's a useful caveat for the whole table: a high growth rate can mean a young, expanding population, or it can mean a population recovering toward where it previously was.

The other end of the table

The slowest-growing (in practice, shrinking) countries in this ranking are led by Moldova, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Martinique, Ukraine and the US Virgin Islands, each down more than 8% over ten years — see our shrinking populations ranking for the full picture of decline measured from each country's peak rather than a fixed ten-year window. Both rankings point to the same underlying fact: population growth today is overwhelmingly a story about Sub-Saharan Africa, while population decline is overwhelmingly a story about Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
