Population Problem
With the population of Tanzania’s being 51,045,882 people only about 26.11 million are currently employed. With their population increasing at a very high rate of 2.79%, which is 14th in the world, the divide between the rich, and the poor is going to increase drastically. The projection for Tanzania’s population is that there will be 53 million Tanzanians in 2018 and 100 million in 2042. More and more people are going to be looking for jobs, but there will not be any. Especially with 67.9% of the Tanzanian population living below the poverty line, there will be a growing pressure on the government to provide more job opportunities for the people of Tanzania, as well as housing for the increasing population. More and more people will be moving into the cities to look for jobs, which can be seen in the cartogram above. The urban areas of Tanzania are going to grow significantly within the next couple of years. The capitol city of Tanzania, Der es Salaam, has been reported to be increasing the most with in the coming years. With that increase The Tanzanian government hopes to seen the emergence of a small, but growing urban middle class, and less of the lower class.
