The world's population first reached one billion people in 1805, and reached eight billion in 2022, and will peak at almost 10.2 billion by the end of the century. Although it took thousands of years to reach one billion people, it did so at the beginning of a phenomenon known as the demographic transition; from this point onwards, population growth has skyrocketed, and since the 1960s the population has increased by one billion people every 12 to 15 years. The demographic transition sees a sharp drop in mortality due to factors such as vaccination, sanitation, and improved food supply; the population boom that follows is due to increased survival rates among children and higher life expectancy among the general population; and fertility then drops in response to this population growth. Regional differences The demographic transition is a global phenomenon, but it has taken place at different times across the world. The industrialized countries of Europe and North America were the first to go through this process, followed by some states in the Western Pacific. Latin America's population then began growing at the turn of the 20th century, but the most significant period of global population growth occurred as Asia progressed in the late-1900s. As of the early 21st century, almost two-thirds of the world's population lives in Asia, although this is set to change significantly in the coming decades. Future growth The growth of Africa's population, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, will have the largest impact on global demographics in this century. From 2000 to 2100, it is expected that Africa's population will have increased by a factor of almost five. It overtook Europe in size in the late 1990s, and overtook the Americas a few years later. In contrast to Africa, Europe's population is now in decline, as birth rates are consistently below death rates in many countries, especially in the south and east, resulting in natural population decline. Similarly, the population of the Americas and Asia are expected to go into decline in the second half of this century, and only Oceania's population will still be growing alongside Africa. By 2100, the world's population will have over three billion more than today, with the vast majority of this concentrated in Africa. Demographers predict that climate change is exacerbating many of the challenges that currently hinder progress in Africa, such as political and food instability; if Africa's transition is prolonged, then it may result in further population growth that would place a strain on the region's resources, however, curbing this growth earlier would alleviate some of the pressure created by climate change.

The Commission on Environmental Cooperation, in concert with a trinational group of experts, has identified North American species of common conservation concern (SCCC). These terrestrial and marine species comprise a group of important migratory, transboundary and endemic species selected from among the continent’s great wealth of wild flora and fauna, which require regional cooperation for their effective conservation. Terrestrial species of common conservation concern were selected in 1999 by an experts’ working group convened by the CEC. Initially, consultants to the CEC compiled lists of bird and mammal species taken from national endangered species lists in all three countries. The intent was to identify species that would benefit most from collaborative action among two or all three countries. Given the respective mandates of the participating wildlife agencies in the three countries, only birds and mammals were included in the initial lists. A workshop with experts from the three countries was then convened to identify both mandatory and recommended criteria for selection of species of common conservation concern. The criteria were as follows: Mandatory criteria:Species must be transboundary or migratory and thus exist in at least two of the participating countries. Transboundary species for consideration included both shared populations, as well as populations of species that extend their range across international boundaries but are not a shared population.Selected species for this pilot project must be either a bird or mammal. Birds listed under existing bilateral treaties are of particular interest. Recommended criteria:Priority will be given to bird and mammal species that are endangered or threatened in one or more countries, extirpated from at least one country, or are species of special conservation concern. The latter category includes species that are designated as Rare or require Special Protection in Mexico, candidate species for listing in the United States, and species designated as Vulnerable by COSEWIC in Canada. Species of conservation concern for this project also includes those species that are of ecological or other significance, including keystone, umbrella, flagship, indicator, and endemic species; species of taxonomic rarity; and instances where a high percentage of the global population occurs in North America.Priority will also be given to selecting species that are likely to successfully demonstrate the importance of trilateral or bilateral cooperation and increase awareness of biodiversity issues across North America. -----------------In addition, workshop participants initially agreed to identify a maximum of thirty potential species for cooperation. Each country submitted ten species to the CEC that they believed would benefit from collaboration. Later in 1999, CEC professionals and consultants and the SCCC Project Chair, Dr. David Brackett, agreed on a selected number of species from the lists submitted by the three countries. Priority was given to species recommended by more than one country and to species occurring in all three countries. In addition, taxonomic, ecological, and geographic balance was sought in selecting the species. The terrestrial bird and mammal species selected were: burrowing owl, California condor, ferruginous hawk, golden-cheeked warbler, loggerhead shrike, mountain plover, northern and Mexican spotted owls, peregrine falcon, piping plover, whooping crane, black bear, black-tailed prairie dog, gray wolf, Sonoran pronghorn, lesser long-nosed bat, and Mexican long-nosed bat. These species were subsequently agreed upon by the Experts Working Group to be those of common conservation concern.

South America has a complex demographic history shaped by multiple migration and admixture events in pre- and post-colonial times. Settled over 14,000 years ago by Native Americans, South America has experienced migrations of European and African individuals, similar to other regions in the Americas. However, the timing and magnitude of these events resulted in markedly different patterns of admixture throughout Latin America. We use genome-wide SNP data for 437 admixed individuals from 5 countries (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, and Argentina) to explore the population structure and demographic history of South American Latinos. We combined these data with population reference panels from Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas to perform global ancestry analysis and infer the subcontinental origin of the European and Native American ancestry components of the admixed individuals. By applying ancestry-specific PCA analyses we find that most of the European ancestry in South American Latinos is from the Iberian Peninsula; however, many individuals trace their ancestry back to Italy, especially within Argentina. We find a strong gradient in the Native American ancestry component of South American Latinos associated with country of origin and the geography of local indigenous populations. For example, Native American genomic segments in Peruvians show greater affinities with Andean indigenous peoples like Quechua and Aymara, whereas Native American haplotypes from Colombians tend to cluster with Amazonian and coastal tribes from northern South America. Using ancestry tract length analysis we modeled post-colonial South American migration history as the youngest in Latin America during European colonization (9–14 generations ago), with an additional strong pulse of European migration occurring between 3 and 9 generations ago. These genetic footprints can impact our understanding of population-level differences in biomedical traits and, thus, inform future medical genetic studies in the region.

The earliest point where scientists can make reasonable estimates for the population of global regions is around 10,000 years before the Common Era (or 12,000 years ago). Estimates suggest that Asia has consistently been the most populated continent, and the least populated continent has generally been Oceania (although it was more heavily populated than areas such as North America in very early years). Population growth was very slow, but an increase can be observed between most of the given time periods. There were, however, dips in population due to pandemics, the most notable of these being the impact of plague in Eurasia in the 14th century, and the impact of European contact with the indigenous populations of the Americas after 1492, where it took almost four centuries for the population of Latin America to return to its pre-1500 level. The world's population first reached one billion people in 1803, which also coincided with a spike in population growth, due to the onset of the demographic transition. This wave of growth first spread across the most industrially developed countries in the 19th century, and the correlation between demographic development and industrial or economic maturity continued until today, with Africa being the final major region to begin its transition in the late-1900s.

Aim: To show how recent declines in populations of long-distance migrant birds are associated with recent increases in human population growth and agricultural intensification on their tropical non-breeding grounds, except for synanthropic species, where we expect the reverse.

Location: Breeding populations throughout Europe and North America spending the non-breeding season throughout Africa, and Central and South America, respectively.

Methods: We mapped 50 species of long-distance migrant birds from published tagging studies of 126 breeding populations and identified their breeding population trends from 2000-2015 from published Country or State census data. We then matched individual bird non-breeding locations, from each population, to local human population change and crop yield data. We used GLMs to predict whether bird population decline was associated with human population change or crop yield and whether this was dependent on if a species was synanthropic or not, contro...

Population estimates and 95% credible intervals for each country were derived from hierarchical combination of the best fitting jaguar occurrence and density models based on anthropogenic and environmental variables. Calculations were performed for the area of current jaguar range (Figs 1 and 6).

United States US: Survey Mean Consumption or Income per Capita: Bottom 40% of Population: Annualized Average Growth Rate data was reported at 1.310 % in 2016. United States US: Survey Mean Consumption or Income per Capita: Bottom 40% of Population: Annualized Average Growth Rate data is updated yearly, averaging 1.310 % from Dec 2016 (Median) to 2016, with 1 observations. United States US: Survey Mean Consumption or Income per Capita: Bottom 40% of Population: Annualized Average Growth Rate data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s United States – Table US.World Bank.WDI: Poverty. The growth rate in the welfare aggregate of the bottom 40% is computed as the annualized average growth rate in per capita real consumption or income of the bottom 40% of the population in the income distribution in a country from household surveys over a roughly 5-year period. Mean per capita real consumption or income is measured at 2011 Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) using the PovcalNet (http://iresearch.worldbank.org/PovcalNet). For some countries means are not reported due to grouped and/or confidential data. The annualized growth rate is computed as (Mean in final year/Mean in initial year)^(1/(Final year - Initial year)) - 1. The reference year is the year in which the underlying household survey data was collected. In cases for which the data collection period bridged two calendar years, the first year in which data were collected is reported. The initial year refers to the nearest survey collected 5 years before the most recent survey available, only surveys collected between 3 and 7 years before the most recent survey are considered. The final year refers to the most recent survey available between 2011 and 2015. Growth rates for Iraq are based on survey means of 2005 PPP$. The coverage and quality of the 2011 PPP price data for Iraq and most other North African and Middle Eastern countries were hindered by the exceptional period of instability they faced at the time of the 2011 exercise of the International Comparison Program. See PovcalNet for detailed explanations.; ; World Bank, Global Database of Shared Prosperity (GDSP) circa 2010-2015 (http://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/poverty/brief/global-database-of-shared-prosperity).; ; The comparability of welfare aggregates (consumption or income) for the chosen years T0 and T1 is assessed for every country. If comparability across the two surveys is a major concern for a country, the selection criteria are re-applied to select the next best survey year(s). Annualized growth rates are calculated between the survey years, using a compound growth formula. The survey years defining the period for which growth rates are calculated and the type of welfare aggregate used to calculate the growth rates are noted in the footnotes.

We can’t understand the world without understanding demographic change.

How many people are alive today? How many are born; how many die? What do we expect populations to look like in the future?

The United Nations updates its big dataset — the World Population Prospects — every two years to answer these questions. It just released its latest edition today.

We’ve updated all of our population-related datasets and charts with this new release. You can explore all the trends for every country in our Population and Demography Data Explorer.

In this article, we wanted to provide key insights from this latest wave of data.

The world population is projected to peak slightly earlier than in previous projections The United Nations doesn’t only publish historical estimates of how population and demographic trends have changed in the past; it also makes projections for what the future might look like. To be clear, these are projections, not predictions of changes in the future.

In its 2022 publication, the UN estimated that, in its medium scenario, the global population would peak in 2086 at around 10.4 billion people.

This year’s edition brings this peak forward slightly to 2084, with the population topping at just under 10.3 billion.

The chart below compares the two revisions.

This isn’t the first time the projected peak has been pulled earlier. According to its 2019 edition, the global population would reach 10.9 billion by 2100 and keep growing. The 2022 revision was the first to project a peak in the 21st century. Not every country has seen a drop in projected population compared to the last edition. The chart below shows the differences between the two UN revisions, region by region. Note that the vertical axis scale for each region is different, allowing you to see the changes more clearly.

The latest UN revision has downgraded its future population estimates in Asia, Africa, and Latin America but increased its projections for Europe and North America.

Aged Care Services Market Outlook

The global aged care services market size is projected to significantly expand from an estimated USD 1.2 trillion in 2023 to USD 2.5 trillion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2% during the forecast period. This remarkable growth is primarily driven by the increasing aging population worldwide, advancements in healthcare technologies, and a growing preference for personalized care services. As societal norms evolve and demographics shift, the demand for aged care services is poised to undergo substantial growth, reflecting broader trends in aging populations and the need for comprehensive care solutions.

One of the critical factors contributing to the growth of the aged care services market is the global demographic shift towards an aging population. With advancements in medical technology and improved living standards, life expectancy rates have risen considerably, resulting in a higher proportion of the elderly in the global population. This demographic trend necessitates increased investment in aged care services to ensure that the elderly receive the necessary support and care tailored to their specific needs. As more individuals live longer, multifaceted care services, including medical, non-medical, and community care, are becoming increasingly essential to preserve the quality of life for older adults.

The integration of innovative technologies such as telehealth, remote monitoring, and AI-driven healthcare solutions is another significant growth factor in the aged care services market. These technologies facilitate the delivery of efficient and effective healthcare services to elderly patients, enabling continuous monitoring of health conditions and timely interventions. Moreover, the use of smart devices and wearables allows for enhanced communication between healthcare providers and patients, improving the overall quality and responsiveness of aged care. As technology becomes more embedded in healthcare practices, the aged care sector will likely experience further growth, driven by technology's ability to improve care outcomes and operational efficiencies.

Moreover, societal changes, including the shift in family structures and increasing urbanization, drive the need for professional aged care services. With more nuclear families and dual-income households, traditional family-based caregiving is no longer feasible for many, necessitating the growth of formal care services. Additionally, governments across various regions are implementing policies and frameworks to support aged care infrastructure, which is fostering market expansion. These policies often encompass financial support, regulations for care quality, and incentives for private sector participation, collectively creating a conducive environment for market growth.

Ancillary Care Service plays a crucial role in the aged care services market by providing additional support that complements primary care. These services include various forms of assistance such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other rehabilitative services that are essential for the well-being of elderly individuals. By offering specialized care that addresses specific health needs, ancillary services enhance the overall quality of care provided to seniors. This segment is gaining traction as more aged care facilities recognize the importance of comprehensive care solutions that cater to the diverse needs of their residents. The integration of ancillary services not only improves patient outcomes but also supports the sustainability of aged care operations by reducing the burden on primary care providers.

Regional outlooks for the aged care services market indicate distinct trends and opportunities across different geographies. In Asia Pacific, the market is witnessing rapid growth due to an increasing elderly population and expanding healthcare infrastructure. This region is expected to show a robust CAGR, driven by countries like Japan and China, where aging populations are among the highest globally. North America, with its well-established healthcare systems and increasing government funding for senior care services, remains a significant market. Europe is also a key region, benefiting from comprehensive welfare systems and a focus on improving aged care quality. Meanwhile, emerging markets in Latin America and the Middle East & Africa are gradually recognizing the importance of aged care services, though their growth rates may vary due to differing economic and healthcare conditions.

In 2023, Washington, D.C. had the highest population density in the United States, with 11,130.69 people per square mile. As a whole, there were about 94.83 residents per square mile in the U.S., and Alaska was the state with the lowest population density, with 1.29 residents per square mile. The problem of population density Simply put, population density is the population of a country divided by the area of the country. While this can be an interesting measure of how many people live in a country and how large the country is, it does not account for the degree of urbanization, or the share of people who live in urban centers. For example, Russia is the largest country in the world and has a comparatively low population, so its population density is very low. However, much of the country is uninhabited, so cities in Russia are much more densely populated than the rest of the country. Urbanization in the United States While the United States is not very densely populated compared to other countries, its population density has increased significantly over the past few decades. The degree of urbanization has also increased, and well over half of the population lives in urban centers.

In 2025, approximately 23 million people lived in the São Paulo metropolitan area, making it the biggest in Latin America and the Caribbean and the sixth most populated in the world. The homonymous state of São Paulo was also the most populous federal entity in the country. The second place for the region was Mexico City with 22.75 million inhabitants. Brazil's cities Brazil is home to two large metropolises, only counting the population within the city limits, São Paulo had approximately 11.45 million inhabitants, and Rio de Janeiro around 6.21 million inhabitants. It also contains a number of smaller, but well known cities such as Brasília, Salvador, Belo Horizonte and many others, which report between 2 and 3 million inhabitants each. As a result, the country's population is primarily urban, with nearly 88 percent of inhabitants living in cities. Mexico City Mexico City's metropolitan area ranks sevenths in the ranking of most populated cities in the world. Founded over the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan in 1521 after the Spanish conquest as the capital of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, the city still stands as one of the most important in Latin America. Nevertheless, the preeminent economic, political, and cultural position of Mexico City has not prevented the metropolis from suffering the problems affecting the rest of the country, namely, inequality and violence. Only in 2023, the city registered a crime incidence of 52,723 reported cases for every 100,000 inhabitants and around 24 percent of the population lived under the poverty line.
