UNITED NATIONS: The United Nations estimates that the global human population will reach eight billion by mid-November, and will continue to grow, albeit at a slower pace and with regional disparities, in the decades to come.
Here are some key takeaways from the UN analysis: Population growth slowdownThe UN Population Division estimates that the number of humans on Earth will grow to eight billion on November 15, more than three times higher than the 2.5 billion global headcount in 1950.However, after a peak in the early 1960s, the world's population growth rate has decelerated dramatically, Rachel Snow of the UN Population Fund told Agence France-Presse.Annual growth has fallen from a high of 2.
8 years in 2019, nine years more than in 1990. And the UN predicts an average life expectancy of 77.2 years by 2050. The result, combined with the decline in fertility, is that the proportion of people over 65 is expected to rise from 10 percent in 2022 to 16 percent in 2050.This global graying will have an impact on labor markets and national pension systems, while requiring much more elderly care.
