Births in Angola through history

Estimated annual births in Angola, 0 CE to 2026, on a logarithmic scale. The shaded band on the left marks the years where births are modelled rather than recorded. The marker sits on 2026.

Every figure refers to the area inside Angola's present-day borders. Before 1800 the state did not exist in its current form — see how borders are handled.

What the numbers show

Annual births in Angola are at their highest in the whole run of estimates in 2026, at about 1.46M. That is roughly 541 times the estimated ~2.7K births a year in 1 CE.

At 4.89 children per woman, fertility in Angola is above the level of about 2.1 that would hold a population steady over the long run without migration.

Where these numbers come from

2026 figures are the UN World Population Prospects 2024 medium variant. Earlier years come from the UN's estimates (1950 onward), Gapminder's reconstructions (1800–1949) and a model applied to HYDE population estimates (before 1800). The full chain is set out in the methodology, and every source is listed on the sources page.
