2. Overview and Prospects
The next coming decades are projected to witness an unprecedented
global population boom, representing the largest increase in recorded
history. Despite declining fertility rates, the current world population
of 8 billion is expected to reach 8.6 billion in 2030, 9.8 billion
in 2050, and 11.2 billion in 2100, according to a United Nations report.
This remarkable growth will be accompanied by a significant shift
towards urbanization, as an increasing proportion of the world's population
gravitate towards cities. Notably, in sub-Saharan Africa, the total
population is predicted to double by 2050, accounting for approximately
25% of the global population.
