By 2042, the population of Algeria is expected to reach 55,834,555. That would be 9.2% more than in 2032 (51,113,494).
The median age is projected at 33.0 years, with 31.4 children under 15 and 18.8 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
