Africa's population growth in the last 50 years has been unprecedented. By mid-century, the continent will make up a quarter of the global population, compared to one-tenth in 1980. Africa's youth is the most striking aspect of its demography. As the rest of the world ages, almost 60 per cent of Africa's population is younger than 25 years old. This 'youthquake' will have immense consequences for the social, economic and political reality of Africa. Director of the Africa Research Institute Edward Paice presents a detailed, nuanced analysis of the varied demography of Africa, rejecting the fanciful over-optimism of some commentators and doom-laden prophecies of others while scrutinising received wisdom, and carefully considering the ramifications of the youthquake for Africa and the world.
