2070Southern Africa in 2070
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Southern Africa at 100,843,250 in 2070. That would be 4.2% more than in 2060 (96,823,129).
The median age is projected at 36.0 years, with 30.2 children under 15 and 21.5 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). This is a stationary pyramid — similar numbers in each age group up to the older cohorts, the signature of near-replacement fertility.
