Western Africa Population Pyramid 2073
Western Africa in 2073
In 2073, Western Africa is projected to have a population of 941,959,178 people. Compared with 2063, when the projection stands at 859,991,494, that represents growth of 9.5% over ten years.
Half of the population would be younger than 30.1 years, with 25.3% children under 15 and 7.7% 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.
