Angola's population is strikingly young: Three-fourths (75%) of its 34 million people are under the age of 30, and only 3% are above age 65 (Instituto Nacional de Estatística, 2016). The Afrobarometer Round 9 survey in Angola, conducted in 2022, provides an on-the-ground look at the situation of the country's young people. Survey findings show that Angolan youth have more education than their elders but are also more likely to be unemployed. Health, unemployment, food insecurity, and water supply top the list of the most important problems that young Angolans want their government to address.
