“SECURE FUTURES”

• Africa will account for 3.2 billion of the projected 4 billion increase in the global population by 2100.

• With declining mortality and fertility, Africa’s share of the working age population will increase from about 54 percent in 2010 to peak at about 64 percent in 2090.

• The rising share of Africa’s working age population is increasing its productive potential at a time when most of the advanced economies face an ageing population.
