As of 1965, Angola counted 5,521,981 inhabitants. A decade earlier, in 1955, the population was 4,832,764; it has grown by 14.3% since.
The median age was 18.6 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 82.1 children under 15 and 5.8 people aged 65 or over. This is an expansive pyramid — each cohort of children is larger than the one above it, the signature of high birth rates and rapid growth.
