Zimbabwe is experiencing rapid population growth, adding millions of people each year. The sex ratio of 91 males per 100 females is notably lower than the global average of ~101. The population is aging rapidly—median age will rise from 18 to 24 by 2050. Looking ahead, UN projections show the population reaching 37.2M by 2100—more than double today's level.
