The figures I used are from The World Bank’s open data project and I didn’t go through every country, it’s an estimate based on the 15 most populous nations. Not perfect and probably on the conservative side. The International Monetary Fund are predicting an African population of just under 2.5 billion by 2050.Never heard that fact about Africa before, so basically there’s 1.4 billion people in the continent made up of 54 countries, so your looking at 750m more people over 25 yrs which equates to 30m per year, in comparison how will the continent of Europe fair, using the same graphics?
Figures for Europe are a bit trickier, depending on how they include or exclude Russia and Turkey but the IMF, World Bank and UN predict a fall of between 5 and 8% depending on how you cut it.
