World Population May Peak about Nine Billion in 2050s, Study Reveals
- The Irish Time
“Population growth rate peaked in the 1960s and has been falling steadily ever since. Women around the world are choosing to have fewer children, and the global average fertility rate is now just above two children per woman.” Callegari added.
While the number of children per woman is below two in places like Germany and Japan, it is higher in most low-income countries and fragile states.
The United Nations (UN) estimates that the world population could peak at 10-11 billion people this century, before beginning a slow decline.
According to new estimates, human numbers will peak lower and faster than previously thought.
So, if the world invests more in economic development, education, and health, the world population could drop to a level where every person on Earth could have sustainable access to clean energy, shelter, food, and water.
