Northern Africa in 2085

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Northern Africa at 451,730,754 in 2085. Ten years before, in 2075, the projected population is 436,591,297 — 3.5% lower.

Half of the population would be younger than 39.4 years, with 19.0% children under 15 and 19.1% aged 65 or older. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
