Botswana's population is on the decline, this was said by the Statistician-General Dr. Burton Mguni when he announced the 2022 Population and Housing census preliminary results at the Grand Palm on Tuesday. Dr. Mguni said the estimated population of Botswana from the 2022 Population and Housing Census is 2,346,179 as compared to 2,024,904 enumerated in the 2011 Population and Housing Census.
“This represents a 15.9 percentage increase from 2011. The estimated population is slightly lower (4%) than the projected figure of 2,446,163” he said.
