WORLD’S POPULATION TO PEAK BY 2100 AND DECLINE


A report published by the Lancet recently projected that the population of the world will reach a peak of 9.37 billion by 2064. It is far before the United Nation’s report projected a peak of 11 billion population by 2100. The report was prepared on the basis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017. This report is an eye-opening for all the countries as it shows their population trends how it will be in the coming future. The report also shows that the working-age population is also going to decrease drastically in the coming years.

The report also contains the Population Trends of India and it shows that by 2100 India will be the most populous country in the world. It has projected that India’s population will reach its peak by 2048 and the population will be around 1.6 billion, while the population in 2017 was 1.38 billion. India will become the 3rd largest country with respect to total GDP (Gross Domestic Product) globally. The report has also forecasted that India will be the most populous country in the world and will be followed by Nigeria and China.

This report has forecasted that the population of 23 countries will decrease by 50% percent of their current population. By the end of the 21st century, Total Fertility Rate (TFR) of 183 countries will be less than 2.1. It also shows that the TFR of India will decrease to 1.66 by 2100. The life expectancy of India will be lesser among the top 10 world’s populous country but it will be more than that of 2017 that was 69.1 will rise to 79.3 in 2100. This report will help all the countries to formulate future plans as per the requirement as it acts as a path showing for them.
