Mali Population Pyramid 2027
Mali in 2027

The median age is projected at 17.1 years, with 85.7 children under 15 and 4.4 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.
