Projection

Values for 2050 come from the UN World Population Prospects 2024 medium scenario. They depend on assumptions about fertility, mortality, and migration and are not forecasts guaranteed to occur.

Sudan age structure in 2050

In 2050, children under 15 are projected to make up 31.6% of the population, people aged 15–64 63.1%, and people aged 65 or older 5.3%. On these shares the structure is classed as transitional; see the guide to population pyramid types.

The total age dependency ratio is projected to be 58.5 (50.1 children and 8.4 people aged 65+ per 100 aged 15–64). The largest five-year groups are 0–4, 5–9, 10–14, which together account for 31.6% of the population.

Fertility is projected to be 3.00 births per woman and life expectancy at birth 70.9 years. The population is projected to change by +1.61% during the year.

Sudan in 2050 compared with 2026

Between 2026 and 2050, the medium scenario has Sudan’s population growing by 60% and the median age rising by 5.2 years. The table sets the two years side by side; percentage-point differences compare shares, not counts.
