Demographics of Angola - statistics & facts
Angola has one of the largest populations in Africa. Nearly 33 million people live in the country, which is expected to record a population growth of 3.15 percent per year until 2025, the second highest rate on the continent. For comparison, the population change in Africa is forecast at 2.37 percent yearly in the same period. The end of a three-decade civil war in 2002, combined with high fertility rates, influenced the recent rapid growth in Angola. By 2025, almost 36 million people are expected to be living in the country.
