The reason why Africa is projected to grow so much more significantly than anywhere else is because of the very high levels of current fertility and the projected trend in fertility, which even though it will decline, it will remain higher than elsewhere.
So today, for example...
The total fertility rates of the number of children per woman in Africa is 4.7, whereas in each of the other continents it is at replacement level.
And the highest fertility rates in the world are found in Africa.
So of 31 countries where fertility is over five births per woman, 29 of those are found in Africa.
So even though fertility will decline over time, the legacy of the very high fertility that we have today will continue to be felt in what's happening in the future.
