Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2050

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of the Democratic Republic of the Congo at 218,246,072 in 2050. Ten years before, in 2040, the projected population is 172,595,582 — 26.4% lower. The median age is projected at 21.0 years, with 63.0 children under 15 and 6.0 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). 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.
