Demographics of Africa The population of Africa has grown rapidly over the past century,[2] and consequently shows a large youth bulge, further reinforced by a low life expectancy of below 50 years in some African countries.[3] Total population as of 2017 is estimated at more than 1.25 billion, with a growth rate of more than 2.5% p.a.
