Countries with the Largest Youngest Populations

Bro actually went looking at where the world's youngest people live and the top of this thing is all African nations. Niger leads at 56.9%, Uganda right behind on 55.0%, then Chad at 54.6% and Angola at 54.3%. Mali takes fifth on 54.1%, Somalia sixth on 53.6%, Gambia seventh on 52.8%. Zambia and DR Congo are tied at 52.6% for eighth and ninth, Burkina Faso has 52.3%, Mozambique 52.1%, Malawi 52.0%. Tanzania sits at 51.6%, Afghanistan at 51.4%, Burundi at 50.9%, Nigeria at 50.4%, Senegal at 50.2%. São Tomé & Príncipe and Cote d'Ivoire both land on 49.3%, then Cameroon, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Timor-Leste all share 49.1%. Eritrea is at 49.0% and Congo and Liberia both come in at 48.9%. World Atlas put this together with 2025/2026 Data and it covers the top 30. The numbers are the share of each country's youngest population. Unreal.
