People often talk of the 21st century being China’s century, but perhaps when the history books are written it will turn out to be Africa’s century.

Will China shape 2050 Africa more than any other region or country? I’d guess so. It will help provide the renewable energy, AI, and robotics that will equip that population.

The projected average ages in Africa, China, Europe and the US in 2050 are interesting. 25 for Africa, 42 for America, 45 for Europe, and 50 for China. China’s population will be on course to halve by centuries’ end too.

1.4 billion people with an average of 25? It won’t surprise me if Africa’s the center of world culture in 2050.
