Eastern Africa Population Pyramid 2073
Eastern Africa in 2073
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Eastern Africa at 1,149,677,600 in 2073. Compared with 2063, when the projection stands at 1,029,296,485, that represents growth of 11.7% over ten years.
With a projected median age of 30.4 years, Eastern Africa would have a youth dependency ratio of 38.7 and an old-age dependency ratio of 13.9 per 100 people of working age. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
