The demographic boom in the working-age population in sub-Saharan Africa is one of the long-term forces that can shape the world in the coming decades.

As most major economies are seeing their working age populations stagnate or shrink, sub-Saharan Africa’s is growing rapidly and projected to be larger than China’s in about a decade. If the region can also increase its productivity growth, it will begin to emerge out of poverty and gradually become relevant to global investors.
