I Visualized the Population Projections for Every Year
The UN projects a global population of 10,8 billion by the year 2100. How will it be distributed?
When the population in Europe and much of the richer world is declining and the most populated nations in the world, China, India, Indonesia and Bangladesh are stagnating, the population increase from today will be concentrated to the African continent.
The high fertility rates in Africa means the continent will almost threefold in just 80 years. Nigeria will reach 700 million inhabitants in 2100, passing the United States along the way and reaching the spot as the world's third most populous nation. How will this affect the countries on the continent? Will Africa be a case of overpopulation and the growing global population mean our chances of reaching global emission targets are out the window? Or could this bring economic opportunities and prosperity? What influence will migration have?
