Mozambique Population Pyramid 2045
Mozambique in 2045
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Mozambique at 57,851,793 in 2045. Compared with 2035, when the projection stands at 46,411,774, that represents growth of 24.6% over ten years.
With a projected median age of 21.4 years, Mozambique would have a youth dependency ratio of 60.3 and an old-age dependency ratio of 5.2 per 100 people of working age. 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.
