Western Africa Population Pyramid 2100
Western Africa in 2100
In 2100, Western Africa is projected to have a population of 1,069,781,674 people. Ten years before, in 2090, the projected population is 1,038,802,599 — 3.0% lower.
With a projected median age of 35.2 years, Western Africa would have a youth dependency ratio of 31.6 and an old-age dependency ratio of 19.4 per 100 people of working age. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
