Africa in 2085

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Africa at 3,544,047,838 in 2085. That would be 7.7% more than in 2075 (3,291,312,265).

Half of the population would be younger than 33.2 years, with 22.9% children under 15 and 11.7% aged 65 or older. This is a stationary pyramid — similar numbers in each age group up to the older cohorts, the signature of near-replacement fertility.
