Foreign researchers usually don't cover African countries due to lack of data and budget constraints. Blame the quality of the research on the researchers, don't condemn your own people. 😒

Lagos has at least 10 million people below the age of 40, so the research failed to capture Africa as a whole.

Africans must desist from using research that doesn't cover our continent, cos it's really useless to us, just like this thread.

One important parameter is having a formal, documented and taxable job. How many Lagosians do you think meet this criteria? The unemployment rate in Nigeria is high. We have a teeming population of unemployed working age people. That's a fact.

I think you missed the main objective of the research... They only considered people of working age up to 64 years old, regardless of whether their job is taxable or not. I am pretty sure a lot of the Indian demographics would contain people of working age, some of who are mere street traders, food sellers etc...

Whichever way you chose to look at it, the research deliberately ignored Africa cos no African country was captured, not even North African countries like Egypt and Morocco... So it's a biased research and it's useless to us as Africans, we don't need such.

Blame the researchers? Your government has forever failed to capture accurate data on its own population because doing so will expose them, and you want to blame the researchers Wetin dey worry una sef? We have never had accurate elections, census data, birth and death records. Even economic data that is usually collected from banks and just reported are now being tweaked for political reasons, and can no longer be relied on.
