Lesotho in 2010

In 2010, Lesotho had a total population of 1,996,251 people. Ten years earlier, in 2000, the population was nearly the same: 2,003,913. Half of the population was younger than 20.7 years; 36.5% were children under 15 and 4.2% 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.

Share of the population by age group, 1950–2100
