Northern Africa in 2045

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Northern Africa at 355,363,310 in 2045. That would be 12.2% more than in 2035 (316,728,791).

Half of the population would be younger than 30.7 years, with 25.4% children under 15 and 9.8% aged 65 or older. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
