A survey of 4,500 young Africans in 15 countries shows that 52 percent now want to emigrate. The last time the survey was conducted, in early 2020, two-thirds wanted to remain in their home countries. The continent is severely plagued by extremely high birth rates.
A survey, "African Youth Servey" among 4,500 young Africans in 15 countries aged 18-24 showed that 52 percent want to emigrate. In Sudan and Nigeria, the figure is as high as three quarters. The percentage who want to emigrate has increased significantly since the last time the survey was conducted at the beginning of 2020. At that time, more than two-thirds of young Africans wanted to remain in their African homelands.
Around 60 percent of the population on the African continent is estimated to be younger than 25 years. The reason is mainly the very high birth rates.
Many countries are plagued by high birth rates
The World Bank estimated in 2020 that the average number of children per woman in sub-Saharan Africa was 4.6. In Nigeria, where three out of four young people want to emigrate, the number of children per woman was then 5.2. Among other countries that were included in the survey of young people's future plans, Congo-Kinshasa was found, with 5.7 children per woman and Angola with 5.4 children per woman. In Somalia, known to Sweden, which was not included in the survey, the number of children per woman in 2020 was 5.9.
For comparison, the World Bank estimated that women in the EU in 2020 had an average of 1.5 children. The African women thus chose to have a little over three times as many children.

A threat to societies in the West and a sustainable world
Population growth in Africa has been explosive, while in Europe it has basically stagnated, excluding immigration. In just a few decades, the African population has increased from a couple of odd million to well over a billion people, and the assessment is that a further doubling to two billion is expected before the year 2050.
It is feared that this will lead to an emigration pressure towards the West that is even greater and more unmanageable than today. It also overturns all climate and environmental policy plans for a sustainable extraction of the earth's resources. If wealth is to be distributed equally across the world, it means that the West would have to lower its standard of living to a fraction of today's, and that level drops further every year as the population of the third world increases
