Understanding Botswana's Population Dynamics
Botswana's Population: A Complex Story of Growth and Challenges
Exploring the factors influencing Botswana's relatively low population of approximately 2.3 million.

Botswana
Botswana's population growth is significantly lower than many other nations. This is a result of interplay between several key factors.

High HIV Prevalence
Botswana faces one of the world's highest HIV prevalence rates, resulting in increased mortality and reduced life expectancy.
Urbanization and Sparse Population
Significant urbanization has concentrated the population in urban centers, leaving vast rural areas sparsely populated and lacking resources.
