Angola and Morocco, side by side

Line both places up by age in 2026. In Angola, half are older than 18; in Morocco, half are older than 31.

UN estimates for mid-2023: Angola 36,749,906 people · Morocco 37,712,505

Angola 40.2 million people Half are older than 18 3 in 100 are 65 or older

Morocco 38.8 million people Half are older than 31 9 in 100 are 65 or older

How to read this: each pyramid stacks a place’s people by age — babies at the bottom, the oldest at the top, men on the left and women on the right. A wide bottom means many children; a wide top means many older people.

Compare shapes Compare sizes

Each bar is a share of its own place’s people, so a small country and a large one can be read side by side.

If each place were 100 people

Shrink each population to 100 people and count them. Dots are children under 15, filled squares are people aged 15 to 64, and open squares are people 65 and over. The picture follows the year slider above.

Angola

Children, under 15: 44
Aged 15 to 64: 53
Aged 65 and over: 3

Morocco

Children, under 15: 25
Aged 15 to 64: 66
Aged 65 and over: 9

AGO × MAR · families and lifetimes

Children, and how long lives last

If the birth rates of this year held for a whole lifetime, a woman in Angola would have about 4.9 children and a woman in Morocco about 2.2. A baby born in Angola this year can expect to live about 65 years. In Morocco, about 76.

Children per woman, 2026

Each figure is one child: how many children a woman would have in her lifetime at that year’s rates.

Angola 4.9

Morocco 2.2

The dashed line at 2.1 is about what it takes for each generation to replace the one before it, leaving migration aside.

How long a newborn can expect to live, 2026

Each block is ten years of life, if the death rates of that year stayed the same all life long.

Angola 65 years

Morocco 76 years

AGO × MAR · 1950–2100 · how many

How big, and where they are heading

Angola has about as many people as Morocco: 40.2 million against 38.8 million.

Set each against its own 1950 self and Angola's population is 8.8 times what it was in 1950, Morocco's population is 4.3 times what it was in 1950.

Looking ahead: Angola's population is still growing in 2100, and Morocco's population is expected to peak in 2058. In 2100: 150 million in Angola, 37.9 million in Morocco (UN projection, medium).

Which ages each place has more of

Each column is a year and each row an age, from babies at the bottom to 100 at the top. The shade of a cell shows which place has more of its people at that age — the key beside the picture tells you which shade is Angola and which is Morocco, and the in-between shade means the same. Because it compares shares, a small place and a large one can be compared fairly.

Where they sit among all countries

Every country in the world, every year from 1950 to 2100. The grey cloud shows where most countries are; Angola is drawn in solid blue squares and Morocco in open orange squares, so you can see whether each is ahead of the crowd, behind it or in the middle.

Apparatus

Sources and method

Every figure for Angola and Morocco is the United Nations Population Division's, from World Population Prospects 2024: counted to 2023, and the medium projection for each year after that. Both places are taken from the same release and the same tables, which is what makes them comparable at all.

For how the median age is derived, why “100 people” can read a person high or low, and what the all-country pictures do and do not count, see the method.
