Africa

Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most-populous continent, after Asia. Africa's average population is the youngest amongst all continents, making it one of the main sources of people in the working-age. At about 30.3 million km2 (11.7 million square miles) including adjacent islands, it covers 6% of Earth's total surface area and 20% of its land area. With 1.9 billion people as of 2035, it accounts for about 21% of the world's human population.

The continent is the home to many emergent developing economies, such as Nigeria and South Africa. Currently, it is becoming evident that Africa's levels of economical prosperity, employment, urbanization, and welfare pressures and spurring migration are increasing, contrary to what was seen in previous decades. This situation is very similar to that of South Asia. There are still many underdeveloped nations in the continent, but it is expected that, in the future, due to continuing training and education, Africa's condition will get better.
