Angola Population Pyramid 2006
Angola in 2006
In 2006, Angola had a total population of 20,015,279 people. A decade earlier, in 1996, the population was 14,170,973; it has grown by 41.2% since.
Half of the population was younger than 17.3 years; 45.1% were children under 15 and 2.7% were 65 or older. 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.
