Mozambique's Total Population from 1990 to 2023

From 1990 to 2023, Mozambique has experienced significant population growth, rising from approximately 13.3 million to around 33.9 million. This trend is influenced by various factors, including improvements in healthcare and education, which have led to decreased mortality rates and increased life expectancy.

The country’s fertility rate, although declining, has historically remained high, contributing to rapid population growth. Economic recovery after the civil war in the 1990s has played a crucial role in this growth, with investments in infrastructure and healthcare services enhancing living standards. Urban migration has also increased, as people move to cities like Maputo in search of better job opportunities.
