Sierra Leone in 2018

As of 2018, Sierra Leone counted 7,554,563 inhabitants. Over the previous ten years the population grew by 28.2%, up from 5,894,723 in 2008. Half of the population was younger than 19.2 years; 40.6% were children under 15 and 3.1% were 65 or older. 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.
