Demographic Future of Africa

The Economist published on 12 December 2015 an excellent article titled "The Young Continent" that looks at the demographic future of Africa. Sub-Saharan Africa is the fastest growing region of the world.  The UN projects Africa's population will reach 4.4 billion by 2100 or 39 percent of the global population.  The article contains a special focus on population growth in Ethiopia.
