What the Data Shows
Angola’s median age was estimated at 16.7 years in 2024. The same UN demographic vintage estimated population growth near 3.0% and a population of about 37.8 million. A median of 16.7 means half of the population was younger and half older than that age. The combination describes an exceptionally young and rapidly growing population.

Data notes & caveats
Median age is modelled rather than directly counted in a census. The UN population level differs from INE census and survey values and is kept within its named demographic basis.
Methodology
All three demographic estimates use the UN World Population Prospects 2024 revision, giving the median age, population growth and population level one model and vintage.
Source consistency notes
All values come from the same UN revision and 2024 period.
