South Africa in 2005

The population of South Africa in 2005 was 49,490,032. That is 11.1% more than in 1995, when the population stood at 44,541,555. The median age was 23.3 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 48.7 children under 15 and 8.0 people aged 65 or over. 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.
