The estimated global population in 2050 is projected to be around 9.7 billion people, according to the United Nations. This growth is primarily driven by increasing life expectancy and fertility rates in developing countries. It poses challenges for sustainability, resource management, and social systems worldwide.
In 2006, the United Nations stated that the rate of population growth is diminishing due to the demographic transition. If this trend continues, the rate of growth may diminish to zero, concurrent with a world population plateau of 9.2 billion, in 2050. However, this is only one of many estimates published by the UN. In 2009, UN projections for 2050 range from about 8 billion to 10.5 billion.
