‰ÛÄThe demographics of Johannesburg indicate a large and ethnically diverse metropolitan area.

Johannesburg is home to almost five million people, accounting for about 36% of Gauteng’s population and 8% of the national population.
‰ÛÄOver the last decade the city has been growing. A key contributor to this is that the city continues to attract people from other provinces, and internationally, who are looking for better economic opportunities and quality of life. The population pyramid indicates that the cityÕs population is predominantly young. This can be attributed to migration from other parts of the country as young people look for jobs. Johannesburg is considered the economic hub of South Africa and is often the first choice of destination by job seekers across the country.
