Africa Population Pyramid 2073
Africa in 2073
By 2073, the population of Africa is expected to reach 3,234,288,653. Compared with 2063, when the projection stands at 2,922,620,947, that represents growth of 10.7% over ten years.
Half of the population would be younger than 30.6 years, with 25.2% children under 15 and 9.2% aged 65 or older. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
