The demographic boom: An explainer on Uganda’s population trends
This blog discusses expected changes in demographics and highlights associated challenges and opportunities using results from the World Bank report “Tackling the demographic challenge in Uganda.”
Under the most likely scenario, the population of Uganda, currently estimated at 46 million, will at least double between 2020 and 2060, reaching 104 million people. This means that the population density will rise substantially as well. From a population density comparable to that of Italy today, Uganda will surpass India’s current population density of 455 people per square kilometer by 2055, and by 2060 it will be about on par with that of South Korea at 529 people per square kilometer (Figure 1).
