Global population is expected to peak at 12 billion people around the year 2100. When global population peaks depends largely on the demographic transition of Africa. Providing education, improving health and stabilizing the economy will shrink birth rates in Africa.

Thanks for sharing; great to learn that African Population was low than Asia’s and Europe’s before 2000. We have to investigate more on the factors explaining and act on its accelerated growing from now to 2100. Data and family planning services are strongly needed.

The most reliable way to decrease birth rates is to simultaneously make a population healthier, wealthier and better educated. Big task but everybody wins.

Any projection for more than 10 years seems illegit to me. Compare the figures of projections from 40 years ago with today's figures and you'll see why.

Solution: Redistribution of wealth. Once people become wealthier they stop getting a lot of babies #fact

Population projections always say things are expected to level off, and then never do. Without deliberate coordinated action by the nations of this world I can’t see it happening... at least not without nature taking care of it in a catastrophic manner.

Please note that there is also a scenario where the world might not even reach 10billion.

Sideline. A map of Europe. Not about the number of people, but the number of hacker attacks in one month.

IMO human population explosion is the single largest issue facing the planet today (and a key component of many other major issues). It's also almost never talked about in our MSM.. likely due the wealthy/ruling class seeing this only as a growing number of "consumers."
