Analysis# Algeria Population Analysis
Algeria's population of 46.8 million ranks 33rd globally and has expanded by 19.41% over the past decade, averaging roughly 1.9% annual growth. The nation experienced its most dramatic expansion during the 1970s, when the post-independence fertility boom peaked, but subsequent growth has decelerated significantly from that era's rates. Despite slowing expansion, Algeria's current trajectory suggests the population will continue moderate increases through 2024, driven by a relatively young demographic structure inherited from decades of high birth rates.
