Analysis# Burkina Faso Population Analysis
Burkina Faso's population of 23.5 million (2024) reflects sustained high growth, with a 29.18% increase over the past decade representing an average annual growth rate of approximately 2.6%. The country's peak growth decade in the 2000s—likely driven by high fertility rates and improving post-conflict stability—has moderated somewhat, though the current growth rate remains well above global averages. Ranking 59th globally by population, Burkina Faso's demographic trajectory suggests continued pressure on resources and infrastructure absent significant shifts in fertility patterns.
