Africa in 2000

In 2000, Africa had a total population of 830,582,528 people. That is 29.0% more than in 1990, when the population stood at 643,775,030. The median age was 18.2 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 79.8 children under 15 and 6.0 people aged 65 or over. The pyramid is expansive: its wide base of young cohorts reflects high fertility and a rapidly growing population.
