While the world’s population will reach eight billion after exceeding seven billion 11 years ago in 2011, the UN did highlight that in 61 countries or areas, the population is expected to decrease by at least one per cent over the next three decadesįor instance, the report found that two-thirds of the global population lives in a country where lifetime fertility is below 2.1 births per woman – the level required for zero population growth for a population with a low mortality rate. Liu Zhenmin, UN Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs, warned that rapid population growth makes eradicating poverty, the fight against hunger and malnutrition, and increasing the coverage of health and education systems more difficult.
The report shows that the global population is growing at its slowest rate since 1950, having fallen under one per cent in 2020. The UN report indicates that countries of sub-Saharan Africa are expected to contribute more than half of the increase anticipated through 2050. The government had deferred the 2021 census due to the COVID-19 pandemic. India’s population was 1.21 billion in 2011, according to the domestic census, which is conducted once a decade. This is partly because of China’s aging population and history of restricting births. Increased populationĪccording to the report, India will surpass China as the most populous country in the world by 2023. Further reductions in mortality are expected to result in an average lifespan of 77 years by 2050, according to U.N. The report details that population growth is caused in part by declining levels of mortality due to advancements in health. believes that the globe’s population will be stagnant at this level until about 2100. It also projected that the population could reach a peak of around 10.4 billion people during the 2080s. It projects that the world’s population could further grow to around 8.5 billion in 2030 and 9.7 billion in 2050. The UN report is titled “World Population Prospects” and was released on Monday to mark the 2022 World population Day. A new projection from the United Nations (UN) has shown that the global population is expected to reach 8 billion on November 15 even as population growth is at its lowest in decades.
