Trends in Working Age Population Percentage in Lesotho from 1990 to 2022

The chart presents the trends in the working-age population percentage (ages 15 to 64) in Lesotho from 1990 to 2022. Starting at 53.5%, the working-age population gradually increased over the years, reaching 61.8% by 2022.

This steady rise reflects improvements in healthcare, education, and other social factors that have contributed to longer life expectancy and a declining birth rate. The increasing share of the working-age population suggests a demographic shift toward a larger labor force, which can play a crucial role in supporting economic growth and development.
