Deep dives
Current State of Africa's Prosperity
Despite boasting rich natural resources and a youthful population, Africa remains the poorest continent. The average age in Africa is only 19, and projections indicate that by 2050, a quarter of the world’s population could be African. However, without economic opportunity and proper governmental frameworks, this demographic dividend could turn into a major global challenge, contributing to increased immigration pressures and instability. The speaker underscores the urgency of addressing these issues to avoid dire consequences in both African and global contexts.
