Beyond the Headlines: As China and India Age, Young Africa Has Potential to Power Global Workforce

A new analysis by Population Reference Bureau (PRB) shows that while India’s population will soon eclipse China’s, its growth is slowing. In fact, India is on track to become an “aged society” before the mid-century, while the youthful countries of sub-Saharan Africaoften overlookedwill together propel the growth of the global working-age population. This shift has implications for climate change, the global workforce, and the global economy.
