At mid-1998, the estimated world population stood at 5.9 billion, having grown at a rate of 1.3 per cent over the preceding year. Over 80 per cent of the population resided in the less developed regions. According to United Nations projections, the world population would be in the range of 7.3 billion to 10.7 billion by the mid-twenty-first century depending on the assumed future fertility trends.
