World's population to hit 7.75 billion in 2019
4 hours ago
The alarming increase is the estimate from a German foundation that monitors populations. It also suggests the 8 billion mark will be reached in the year 2023.
By the end of this year there will be some 7.75 billion people living on planet earth, according to Germany's Foundation for World Population (DSW).
The estimate gauges that the world's population will have increased by 83 million since January 1 2019, which equates to roughly the number of inhabitants in Germany.

The globe's population is increasing at the rate of 156 every minute and DSW predict the 8 billion mark will be surpassed within four years.
African population to double by 2050
The foundation also predicts that Africa's population will double over the next 20 years. An African mother bears 4.4 children on average compared to the global average of 2.4.
The UN's "World Population Prospects" report released in June this year predicted that the world's population would grow to 9.7 billion by 2050.
The same report also predicted that by the same year, more than half the world's population would be concentrated in India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Indonesia, Egypt and the United States. In addition, India is expected to overtake China as the world's most populous country by 2027.

The declining fertility rate in many places takes time to filter through in a declining population rate. So while there might be hope on the horizon, in this case the horizon seems to be a long way off.

Based on statistics worldpopulation would cross 9 billion in 2036. But statistics give false info, climate change will effect these numbers.

We need a good pandemic to kill off a bunch of us. Some of us have always said that but let's fact it, there are just too many people. Look at Paris, New York, London, Rome, Chicago, San Francisco, Huston, Atlanta, L.A. Berlin, London, Most of China, Most of India, people packed in like sardines.
If we come up with a universal flu shot fewer people will die. We had the plague, Cholera in the middle ages and 1700 - 1800s that cut down the overcrowded cities. Something will come up and out of the blue and most of us will not make it. Maybe it is not a bad thing.

Agreed!
I wish we had curbed our procreation, as that would have been kinder and more civilised, but failing that - AGREED!
