While fertility rates fall dramatically across the globe, the rate in most African countries are above – often double – the replacement threshold. Due to this, its population from 1960 to now has increased more than fivefold to 1.5 billion people. It is - expected - to reach a staggering 2.5 billion in 2050. This will mean that more than a quarter of people on the globe will be African by the middle of this century. And a considerably higher proportion of the world’s working-age population will be African. Explore the full analysis and implications for global investment.
