Abstract

Three projections of the growing human population are shown here. If the growth rate were to remain near the current 1.74 percent a year until the year 2000 and decline thereafter to .98 percent in 2025, the world population will reach almost 8.5 billion in 2025 (black). If the growth rate were to decline at .59 percent by 2025, the population in 2025 will be around 7.6 billion (blue). If the growth rate were to climb to 1.9 percent at the end of the century before declining, the population in 2025 will be more than 9.4 billion (red). The data were supplied by the United Nations Department of International Economic and Social Affairs.
