World Population Prospects 2024. UN
Summary: The UN’s “World Population Prospects 2024” report projects that the global population will peak at around 10.3 billion by the mid-1980s, which is 700 million fewer than earlier estimates. Key factors influencing this trend include lower birth rates in populous countries like China. The report highlights significant demographic shifts, including stagnant growth in countries such as China, Russia, Japan, and Germany, and continued growth in over 120 countries post-2054, including India, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, and the US. The ageing global population presents both opportunities and challenges, with potential environmental benefits but increased demands on healthcare and workforce. Understanding these trends is crucial for sustainable development and policymaking.
