The Population of the World Is Headed for 11 Billion by 2100
The world population is 7.3 billion presently. It will surpass 11 billion by the end of the century, according to UN Population Division projections. The world population is growing at an unprecedented rate. It will nearly double as much as we have today by 2100.
Currently, the world population is 7.3 billion. It will be 9.7 Billion in 2050 and will cross 11 billion by the end of the century, according to United Nations Population Division.
The global population growth will be largely driven by Africa. The continent’s current population is 1.2 billion. It is expected to triple or quadruple over the next 85 years. This is all due to consistent rapid growth in population in the region. Nigeria will likely be the biggest contributor if it continues to follow the current trend.
