Côte d’Ivoire in numbers
The UN counts 31,165,654 people in Côte d’Ivoire in mid-2023, which makes it the 50th-largest population of the 236 countries and areas the UN reports, and 0.39% of the world's people. That is 11.4 times its 1950 population of 2.7 million.
In the UN's medium projection it is still growing in 2100, when it reaches 104 million. The projection is uncertain: on 1 January 2100 the UN's 95% range runs from 43.0 million to 258 million.
Births outnumber deaths in every year from 1950 to 2100, estimates and projection alike.
The median age was 17.8 in 1950 and 19.1 in 2023; the projection has 31.5 in 2100. 2.6% of people were 65 or older in 2023, against 10.2% projected for 2100. The working-age population (15–64) is still growing in 2100 in the medium projection.
Among countries it ranks 50th in 2023, 36th in 2050 and 23rd in 2100. In the medium projection it overtakes Madagascar in 2030, Peru in 2030 and Poland in 2031.

Côte d’Ivoire, 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.
CIV · ages 15–64
Who does the work in Côte d’Ivoire
In Côte d’Ivoire the number of people aged 15–64 is still growing in 2100, the last year the UN projects. In 2023 there were 17,501,200 of them.
aged 15–64 children under 15 aged 65 and over
How to read this: the orange squares are 100 people aged 15–64 in 2023, and the rows below are how many children (teal) and how many people aged 65 or older (violet) lived alongside them.
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: one stripe a year from 1950 to 2100. A stripe takes colour in a year when fewer than 50 dependants live alongside every 100 people of working age, and stays grey otherwise; hatching means the year is projected.
CIV · arrivals minus departures
Who arrives in Côte d’Ivoire, and who leaves
In 2020–2025 Côte d’Ivoire gains 8,280 people a year: everyone who arrives, minus everyone who leaves. The age at which that happens most is 20–24, at 9,298 a year more arriving than leaving.
more arrive than leave more leave than arrive
How to read this: left to right is age, from babies to 100. Blue squares above the line are ages at which more people arrive than leave; orange squares below it, ages at which more leave than arrive. These are the UN's projection for 2020–2025. There is no record of migration by age before 2020.
Across the counted years, 1950 to 2023, its biggest single-year gain was 125,556 (1996); its biggest loss, 250,964 (2013).
In 2024, 2,880,839 people living in Côte d’Ivoire had been born in another country, 9 of every 100 people there, against 15 in 1990.

Years in good health in Côte d’Ivoire
A baby born in Côte d’Ivoire in 2021 could expect 63.5 years of life, 55.4 of them in full health (95% range 54.5–56.5). The years in less than full health come to 8.1, below the world's 9.5: shorter lives leave fewer years in which to be ill.
56.4 in full health, 9.6 not: 66.0 years

How to read this: each square is a year of life, each row ten years; filled squares are years in full health, rounded to whole years.
Women: 56.4 healthy years of 66.0. Men: 54.6 of 61.4.

How to read this: one square stands for 2,000 people, so the rows can be compared with one another. The last row is people from Côte d’Ivoire living in another country, wherever they are.
In 2025, 13,620 people asked for asylum in Côte d’Ivoire for the first time; 8,778 people from Côte d’Ivoire asked for asylum in another country. Of every 100 people from Côte d’Ivoire whose claims were decided that year, 25 were given protection. Who asks for asylum, and who is given it

27.1 of every 100 have no electricity at home (2024). 58.6 of every 100 do not use the internet (2024).

Its people aged 15 to 64 are projected to be most numerous in 2085; the ones who finished upper secondary are still growing in 2100.
