👀 Only 3% of Nigeria is Above the Age of 65

Key Takeaways

• A significant part of the population in Gulf states like Qatar and the UAE are younger migrant workers, who are usually below 40.
• As a result older adults compromise a small share (2–3%) of the population
• A similar effect occurs in sub-Saharan Africa, where younger populations mean large numbers of older adults are still a smaller share.
