Mozambique is experiencing rapid population growth, adding millions of people each year. The sex ratio of 94 males per 100 females is notably lower than the global average of ~101. The population is aging rapidly—median age will rise from 16 to 22 by 2050. Looking ahead, UN projections show the population reaching 104.3M by 2100—more than double today's level.
