| Latest | 15.21% | 2025 |
| Five years earlier | 16.38% | 2020 |
| Ten years earlier | 17.19% | 2015 |

Over five years it is down 1.17 percentage points from 16.38% in 2020. Since 1960 it is down 2.04 percentage points from 17.25% in 1960.
In 2025, Benin's population ages 00-04, male (% of male population) fell 0.18 percentage points on 2024 (from 15.39% to 15.21%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was −0.11 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 0.09 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.8 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 0.27 percentage points in 1962 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.29 percentage points in 1993. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is downward, about 0.23 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 99% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2025, Benin had the 19th highest value of the 217 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.
