  • The number of young people reaching military age in African countries reflects population trends and demographic shifts.

The article from BusinessDay Nigeria discusses the top 10 African countries with the highest number of military-age youth, defined as individuals aged 15 to 24 years. Nigeria leads with approximately 33.7 million young people in this age group, followed by Ethiopia with 20.5 million. Egypt, Democratic Republic of Congo, and South Africa also feature prominently with 18.1 million, 16.9 million, and 10.5 million respectively. Other countries in the list include Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Sudan, and Algeria, with Algeria having the least among the top 10 at 6.2 million. The article highlights the potential implications of this demographic for military recruitment, national security, and economic development, noting that while a large youth population can be a resource, it also presents challenges in terms of employment and education.
