The working-age population in Mozambique has seen gradual fluctuations from 1990 to 2022. Starting at 52.7% in 1990, the percentage peaked slightly at 53.3% in 1995 before declining over the next decade, reaching 51.9% in 2010. This decline can be attributed to demographic factors such as high birth rates and a growing youth population. However, from 2016 onwards, the working-age population percentage rebounded, rising steadily to 53.9% by 2022. This growth aligns with Mozambique’s improved healthcare, increasing life expectancy, and a shift toward a more balanced population structure.
