Population outlook ranks and growth-rate index305 annual rows

Annual population and growth comparisons from 1950 through 2100, with all three published projection variants from 2024 onward.

Country-specific analytical summary

Between 2000 and 2023, Lesotho's estimated population rose from 2.0 million to 2.3 million. That was an absolute change of 307.6 thousand and 15.3%.

The 2023 estimate is the fixed baseline for this WPP 2024 analysis. Under the UN Medium projection, the population is projected at 2.4 million in 2028, 2.6 million in 2033, and 2.8 million in 2043. From the estimate baseline through the 20-year horizon, it is projected to increase by 521.8 thousand (22.6%).

In the latest estimate year, births numbered 55.7 thousand and deaths 24.6 thousand. Natural change was 31.1 thousand, while net migration was -5.2 thousand. These values are reported as demographic components and are not an explanation of the policies or events behind the series.

Age structure is also projected to shift. People aged 65 or older represented 3.8% of the 2023 estimate and are projected at 4.3% in 2043. The share aged 0-14 changes from 34.9% to 27.4% over the same comparison.

Total fertility was estimated at 2.69 births per woman in 2023, compared with 3.61 in 2000. Under the Medium projection it reaches 2.24 in 2043. Birth totals are shown separately; fertility rates and the number of births do not measure the same thing.

Life expectancy at birth increased from 48.8 years in 2000 to 57.4 years in 2023. The latest infant mortality rate was 56.5 per 1,000 live births. Crude death rates are presented with age and longevity measures rather than interpreted alone.

With 2.3 million people, Lesotho ranked 147th of 237 WPP countries and areas by population in 2023. Its regional and peer comparisons use the same release, year, and country/area eligibility rules.

Population trajectory comparison table305 annual rows

Annual population totals and growth rates from 1950 through 2100 without repeating the analytical-period change cards. The position index converts the displayed rank to a 0–100 scale: 100 is first and 0 is last in the stated ranking direction. It is not a population share, percentile of people, or performance score.

Birth, death and natural-change comparison table305 annual rows

Annual rates and ranks for the demographic components charted in this section, 1950 through 2100. The position index converts the displayed rank to a 0–100 scale: 100 is first and 0 is last in the stated ranking direction. It is not a population share, percentile of people, or performance score.

Migration rate, rank and position table305 annual rows

Annual net migration rates with comparable world ranks and position indices, 1950 through 2100. Low, Medium and High rows are shown for every projection year. The position index converts the displayed rank to a 0–100 scale: 100 is first and 0 is last in the stated ranking direction. It is not a population share, percentile of people, or performance score.

Age structure rank and position table305 annual rows

Annual median age and share aged 65 or older from 1950 through 2100, including Low, Medium and High projection variants from 2024 onward. The position index converts the displayed rank to a 0–100 scale: 100 is first and 0 is last in the stated ranking direction. It is not a population share, percentile of people, or performance score.

Sex composition rank and position table305 annual rows

Annual males per 100 females with world rank and position index, 1950 through 2100. Low, Medium and High rows are shown for every projection year. The position index converts the displayed rank to a 0–100 scale: 100 is first and 0 is last in the stated ranking direction. It is not a population share, percentile of people, or performance score.

Fertility rank and position table305 annual rows

Annual total fertility rates with world rank and position index, 1950 through 2100. Low, Medium and High rows are shown for every projection year. The position index converts the displayed rank to a 0–100 scale: 100 is first and 0 is last in the stated ranking direction. It is not a population share, percentile of people, or performance score.
