1945

The world’s population, which numbered around 7.8 billion in 2020, has been growing rapidly and is expected to continue to grow in the coming decades, albeit at a progressively slower pace. Projections by the United Nations suggest that the size of the global population could rise to almost 11 billion by the end of the twenty-first century. The size of the global population is expected to stabilize around 2100, bringing an end to the current era of rapid growth that began around 1800 in some regions and in the middle of the twentieth century on a global scale. Plausible future trajectories of world population in the short or medium term lie within a relatively narrow range. Over the next 30 or 40 years, a slowdown in global growth that is substantially faster than anticipated in the United Nations projections is unlikely.
