摘要

背景:尼日利亚被认为是非洲人口最多的国家，人口估计为1.81亿，平均年龄为17.9岁。尼日利亚的年轻人口表明，随着总人口呈指数增长，生育率可能会继续上升。然而，尼日利亚的预期寿命很低，死亡率很高。数据来源和方法:本研究旨在分析尼日利亚的人口数据，并介绍尼日利亚的人口过剩是如何导致其低预期寿命的。本研究分析了联合国人口司的二手定量数据。结果:调查结果显示，人口增长从1995年记录的108,011,465人增加到2020年记录的200,963,599人，生育率高，死亡率高，预期寿命低，为53岁。结论:该研究提出了政策建议，以调节尼日利亚的人口增长和提高该国的预期寿命。

Nigeria demographic report: the effect of overpopulation on life expectancy

Background: Nigeria is considered the most populous country in Africa with an estimated population of 181 million and a median age of 17.9. Nigeria’s young population indicates that fertility rate may keep increasing with the total population increasing exponentially. However, life expectancy in Nigeria is very low accompanied by high mortality rate. Data Source and methods: This study aimed at analysing Nigeria’s demographic data and presenting how Nigeria’s overpopulation is contributing to its low life expectancy. Secondary quantitative data from United Nations Population Division was analysed for the study. Results: Findings showed increasing population growth from 108,011,465 recorded in 1995 to 200,963,599 recorded in 2020, high fertility, high mortality rate and low life expectancy at 53 years. Conclusion: The study made recommendations on policies to regulate Nigeria’s population growth and increase life expectancy of the country.
