Analysis# Mali Population Analysis
Mali's population of 24.48 million (2024) reflects sustained high growth despite significant development challenges, with a 35.84% increase over the past decade placing it among the world's fastest-growing nations. The country's ranking at #58 globally demonstrates that while Mali's population is substantial, its growth rate substantially outpaces most developed nations and many peers in West Africa. Peak growth during the 2007s decade indicates that demographic momentum has remained relatively consistent rather than accelerating, suggesting continued fertility rates of approximately 6+ children per woman rather than recent explosive expansion.
