World Population Officially Reaches Eight Billion People
- U-Report
Elsewhere in Africa, the largest surges will occur in Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Egypt. In Asia, outside of India and China, the biggest growth will occur in Pakistan and the Philippines.
More generally, the world's 46 least-developed countries will have the fastest-growing populations between now and 2050. Most of this growth (two-thirds) will be driven by what has already happened, and a young population structure.
However, the world population is growing more slowly, in some decades due to long periods of low fertility. More than two-thirds of people live in countries where women have 2 or 1 child or even less.
The war between Ukraine and Russia has had a major impact on its population size, with projections suggesting the country will lose more than 20% of its population by 2050.
The global population will continue to grow, to around 8.5 billion people by 2030 and 9.7 billion by 2050. It will start to peak at around 10.4 billion people in the 2080s and remain at that level until 2100.
Australia, New Zealand, the rest of Oceania, North Africa, and West Asia will continue to grow in population by the end of the century. But the rest of the world, including Europe and North America, will peak and start to decline before 2100.
