Angola in numbers

36,749,906 people lived in Angola in mid-2023: 0.45% of the world's people, and the 42nd-largest population of the 236 countries and areas the UN reports. That is 8.1 times its 1950 population of 4.6 million.

In the UN's medium projection it is still growing in 2100, when it reaches 150 million. The projection is uncertain: on 1 January 2100 the UN's 95% range runs from 52.8 million to 509 million.

Births outnumber deaths in every year from 1950 to 2100, estimates and projection alike.

The median age was 19.9 in 1950 and 17.5 in 2023; the projection has 33.1 in 2100. 2.8% of people were 65 or older in 2023, against 11.5% projected for 2100. The working-age population (15–64) is still growing in 2100 in the medium projection.

By size it is the 42nd country in 2023; the projection puts it 27th in 2050 and 13th in 2100. In the medium projection it overtakes Ukraine in 2024, Morocco in 2025 and Poland in 2025.

Angola, every age in every year

Each column is a year and each row an age; the denser the ink in a cell, the more people. Everyone born in the same year climbs one 45° diagonal, so famines, baby booms and migration show up as streaks. Select a cell to follow its generation.

AGO · ages 15–64

Who does the work in Angola

In Angola the number of people aged 15–64 is still growing in 2100, the last year the UN projects. In 2023 there were 19,336,400 of them.

100 aged 15–64

85 children

5 aged 65+

aged 15–64 children under 15 aged 65 and over

How to read this: take 100 people of working age — the orange row — and the two rows under it are the children (teal) and the people of 65 and over (violet) who lived alongside them in 2023.

At no point between 1950 and 2100 do fewer than 50 dependants live alongside every 100 people aged 15–64 here.

fewer than 50 dependants per 100 the same, projected 50 or more

How to read this: the strip runs 1950 to 2100. Coloured years are the ones with under 50 dependants for every 100 people aged 15–64; grey years are the rest, and a hatched year has not happened yet.

How every country compares

AGO · arrivals minus departures

Who arrives in Angola, and who leaves

In 2020–2025 Angola gains 5,298 people a year: everyone who arrives, minus everyone who leaves. The age at which that happens most is 20–24, at 2,386 a year more arriving than leaving.

one square = 500 people a year

020406080+

more arrive than leave more leave than arrive

How to read this: age runs left to right, babies to 100. A blue square above the line means arrivals outnumber departures at that age, an orange square below it means the opposite. The figures are the UN's projection for 2020–2025; nobody recorded migration by age before 2020.

Its best and worst years between 1950 and 2023: a gain of 130,643 (2012), and a loss of 90,395 (1969).

In 2024, 676,507 people living in Angola had been born in another country, 2 of every 100 people there, against fewer than 1 in 1990.

Years in good health in Angola

Of the 62.1 years a baby born in Angola in 2021 could expect, about 53.8 would be lived in full health (95% range 52.7–54.6). The years in less than full health come to 8.3, below the world's 9.5: shorter lives leave fewer years in which to be ill.

44.5 of every 100 have no electricity at home (2024). 59.3 of every 100 do not use the internet (2024).
