Africa – the world's second largest (about 30.3 million km2 / 11.7 million square miles = 20.3% of the total land surface on Earth) and second most-populous continent (1.2 billion people). Africa's average population with median age of 19.7 (data for 2012) is the youngest amongst all the continents.
