With a total fertility rate of 5.97 children born per woman (2014 est.), Uganda’s population growth rate is 3.2% per year, one of the highest in the world. The population age structure is highly skewed toward the children and youth as the median age is just 15 years. Low life expectancy is attributable to Uganda’s history of conflict, not only directly causing death but also stunting developmental capacity and holding Ugandans in perpetual poverty. According to the UN Human Development Index, the country is ranked 161 out of 187.
