Southern Africa Population Pyramid 2053
Year
2053Southern Africa in 2053
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Southern Africa at 93,316,595 in 2053. Ten years before, in 2043, the projected population is 87,283,360 — 6.9% lower.
Half of the population would be younger than 33.4 years, with 21.8% children under 15 and 11.5% aged 65 or older. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
