Zambian Roman Catholics
Demographic features of the population of Zambia include population density, ethnicity, education level, health of the populace, economic status, religious affiliations and others aspects of the population. Zambia's youthful population consists primarily of Bantu-speaking people representing nearly 70 different ethnicities.
