Northern Africa Population Pyramid 2035
Northern Africa in 2035
By 2035, the population of Northern Africa is expected to reach 316,728,791. Ten years before, in 2025, the projected population is 276,302,255 — 14.6% lower.
With a projected median age of 28.0 years, Northern Africa would have a youth dependency ratio of 41.9 and an old-age dependency ratio of 11.9 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.
