Whereas the populations of Australia and New Zealand, Northern Africa and Western Asia, and Oceania (excluding Australia and New Zealand) are expected to experience slower, but still positive, growth through the end of the century, the populations of Eastern and South-Eastern Asia, Central and Southern Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Europe and Northern America are projected to reach their peak size and to begin to decline before 2100. India is projected to surpass China as the world’s most populous country during 2023.Ĭountries of sub-Saharan Africa are expected to continue growing through 2100 and to contribute more than half of the global population increase anticipated through 2050. Disparate growth rates among the world’s largest countries will re-order their ranking by size. More than half of the projected increase in global population up to 2050 will be concentrated in just eight countries: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines and the United Republic of Tanzania. China and India, with more than 1.4 billion each, accounted for most of the population in these two regions. In 2022, the two most populous regions were both in Asia: Eastern and South-Eastern Asia with 2.3 billion people (29 per cent of the global population), and Central and Southern Asia with 2.1 billion (26 per cent).

Rates of population growth vary significantly across countries and regions The necessity of educating growing numbers of children and young people, for example, draws resources away from efforts to improve the quality of education.įor countries with continuing high levels of fertility, achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to health, education and gender, is likely to hasten the transition towards lower fertility and slower population growth. Sustained high fertility and rapid population growth present challenges to the achievement of sustainable development. Nevertheless, the cumulative impact of such changes could contribute to a more substantial reduction of global population growth in the second half of the century. Given that most population increase until 2050 will be driven by the momentum of past growth, further actions by Governments aimed at reducing fertility would do little to slow the pace of growth between now and mid-century, beyond the gradual slowdown indicated by the projections presented here. Such growth would occur even if childbearing in today's high-fertility countries were to fall immediately to around two births per woman. Two-thirds of the projected increase in global population through 2050 will be driven by the momentum of past growth that is embedded in the youthful age structure of the current population. The world’s population is projected to reach a peak of around 10.4 billion people during the 2080s and to remain at that level until 2100. In 2020, the global growth rate fell under 1 per cent per year for the first time since 1950. Global fertility is projected to decline further to 2.1 births per woman by 2050. In 2021, the average fertility of the world’s population stood at 2.3 births per woman over a lifetime, having fallen from about 5 births per woman in 1950. When fertility begins to fall, the annual rate of growth starts to drop. A female survival advantage is observed in all regions and countries, ranging from 7 years in Latin America and the Caribbean to 2.9 years in Australia and New Zealand.įollowing a drop in mortality, population growth continues so long as fertility remains at high levels. Life expectancy at birth for women exceeded that for men by 5.4 years globally, with female and male life expectancies standing at 73.8 and 68.4, respectively. Further reductions in mortality are projected to result in an average longevity of around 77.2 years globally in 2050. Globally, life expectancy reached 72.8 years in 2019, an increase of almost 9 years since 1990. Population growth is caused in part by declining levels of mortality, as reflected in increased levels of life expectancy at birth. The latest projections by the United Nations suggest that the global population could grow to around 8.5 billion in 2030, 9.7 billion in 2050 and 10.4 billion in 2100. The world’s population is projected to reach 8 billion on 15 November 2022. The world’s population continues to grow, but the pace of growth is slowing down
