Northern Africa Population Pyramid 2025
Northern Africa in 2025
In 2025, Northern Africa had a total population of 276,302,255 people. A decade earlier, in 2015, the population was 232,669,197; it has grown by 18.8% since.
The median age was 25.9 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 50.3 children under 15 and 9.3 people aged 65 or over. 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.
