Togo Population Pyramid 2000
Togo in 2000
As of 2000, Togo counted 5,140,036 inhabitants. A decade earlier, in 1990, the population was 3,998,761; it has grown by 28.5% since.
Half of the population was younger than 18.4 years; 42.6% were children under 15 and 2.8% were 65 or older. This is an expansive pyramid — each cohort of children is larger than the one above it, the signature of high birth rates and rapid growth.
