POPULATION PROJECTIONS FOR SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA: CHALLENGES FOR THE FUTURE

The population of Sub-Saharan Africa is projected to double by 2050, growing from approximately 1.1 billion to over 2.1 billion.

This rapid expansion increases demand for basic services: over 60% of the current population is under the age of 25, putting unprecedented pressure on schools, healthcare services, and employment markets.

Study Figure 1, which contains information about population projections in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Using Figure 1 and your own understanding, explain the consequences of rapid population growth on human welfare in Low-Income Countries (LICs) or Newly Emerging Economies (NEEs).
