South Africa in 2000

The population of South Africa in 2000 was 47,159,718. That is 15.7% more than in 1990, when the population stood at 40,746,267. Half of the population was younger than 21.9 years; 34.9% were children under 15 and 4.7% 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.
