Southern Africa in 2000

In 2000, Southern Africa had a total population of 53,701,074 people. A decade earlier, in 1990, the population was 46,103,391; it has grown by 16.5% since. Half of the population was younger than 21.5 years; 35.6% were children under 15 and 4.6% were 65 or older. The pyramid is expansive: its wide base of young cohorts reflects high fertility and a rapidly growing population.
