2073Southern Africa in 2073
In 2073, Southern Africa is projected to have a population of 101,870,793 people. Ten years before, in 2063, the projected population is 98,153,335 — 3.8% lower.
Half of the population would be younger than 36.4 years, with 19.6% children under 15 and 14.6% 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.
