Extract

The long-range population projections presented here, prepared by the United Nations Population Division, cover the period from 1950 to 2150. A total of seven projections for each of the eight major areas of the world are considered in this report. The variants are distinguished by their assumptions regarding future scenarios in total fertility rates. The range of potential demographic outcomes underscores the difficulty in focusing on any particular scenario and also highlights the critical importance of current policies and actions for the long-range future of the world population.
