South Africa in 2040

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of South Africa at 74,035,623 in 2040. Ten years before, in 2030, the projected population is 68,161,359 — 8.6% lower. Half of the population would be younger than 32.0 years, with 22.9% children under 15 and 9.0% aged 65 or older. This is a stationary pyramid — similar numbers in each age group up to the older cohorts, the signature of near-replacement fertility.

Share of the population by age group, 1950–2100
