Description: Tanzania is a low-income economy, with a population of about 51.8 million in 2014, projected to increase to 74 million by 2030. At present, about 73 percent of the population lives in rural areas, but during the next 15 years, Tanzania is expected to go through a period of intensive urbanization, with about half of its citizens projected to be living in major and secondary cities by 2030. Tanzania’s labor force is projected to increase from 20 million in 2014 to close to 45 million in 2030.
