Africa Population Pyramid 2070
Africa in 2070
In 2070, Africa is projected to have a population of 3,145,215,299 people. Compared with 2060, when the projection stands at 2,821,497,089, that represents growth of 11.5% over ten years.
The median age is projected at 29.9 years, with 39.4 children under 15 and 13.1 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
