Afghanistan in 2024

In 2024, Afghanistan had a total population of 42,647,492 people. Over the previous ten years the population grew by 30.1%, up from 32,792,523 in 2014. The median age was 18.2 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 78.4 children under 15 and 4.4 people aged 65 or over. This is an expansive pyramid — each cohort of children is larger than the one above it, the signature of high birth rates and rapid growth.
