Eastern Africa Population Pyramid 2047
Eastern Africa in 2047
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Eastern Africa at 813,966,999 in 2047. Compared with 2037, when the projection stands at 674,690,690, that represents growth of 20.6% over ten years.
Half of the population would be younger than 24.1 years, with 32.6% children under 15 and 4.6% aged 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.
