*We can’t understand the world without understanding demographic change.* One of the most anticipated data updates for social geographers and demographers was released last week by the United Nations. It's called the 2024 World Population Prospects. Some key highlights from this report are: 1. The UN now projects that the global population will peak in the early 2080s at around 10.3 billion people. 2. The global population is expected to peak, then decline, by the end of the century, largely due to a sustained, long-term decline in fertility rates worldwide. 3. In many countries, fertility rates are now below the “replacement rate”, the rate at which population size remains constant from generation to generation. This is around 2.1 children per woman in developed countries and slightly higher in lower-income ones. 4. The world has already passed “peak child”: The year when the global number of children reached its highest level. The world reached this peak for under-5s in 2017 and under-15s in 2021. 5. The world has now recovered from a drop in global life expectancy in 2020 due to COVID-19. 6. China's population has peaked and is now declining due to low fertility rates over a long period of time. From a hazards perspective these numbers matter because it's the lens through which we explore geohazard exposure and potential risks. In the long term, changing populations mean different numbers and demographic groups will be exposed to natural hazards such as earthquakes. If we want ensure effective disaster risk reduction measures are in place for today and for tomorrow we need to understand demographic change.

this graph was created in R animated: population and other key findings from the 2024 UN World Population Prospects. 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.

Namibia Surpasses Australia in Population Density, Shifting Global Rankings: Nrupesh Soni This week, the Namibia Statistics Agency (NSA) unveiled census results revealing an unforeseen population count of 3,022,401, marking a pivotal moment as Namibia overtakes Australia in population density. This development repositions Namibia from the second to the third least densely populated country in the world, trailing behind Mongolia and Australia. The calculations conducted by the Facilit8 Namibia reveal that Namibia’s population density now stands at approximately 3.66 people per square kilometer. This figure slightly exceeds Australia’s density of about 3.46 people per square kilometer, highlighting the subtle yet significant demographic shifts occurring worldwide. These shifts hold extensive implications for resource management, urban planning, and environmental conservation on a global scale. This remarkable increase in population density in Namibia is attributed to several factors, including advancements in healthcare, political stability, and gradual economic growth. Together, these factors have contributed to a lower mortality rate and a consistent population increase, reflecting a broader global trend where improved healthcare and economic conditions foster population growth in regions historically characterized by vast, uninhabited landscapes. The Namibia Statistics Agency’s recent census figures, verified and analyzed by Facilit8 Namibia, offer a fresh perspective on the country’s demographic landscape. As Namibia confronts the challenges and opportunities presented by its increased population density, it becomes a focal point for similar nations worldwide, exemplifying the dynamic nature of population distribution and its impact on both national and international scales. In the past 15 years, Namibia’s population has nearly doubled, intensifying the pressure on its education system and healthcare services—two sectors critical to the nation’s sustainable development. The education system, already facing challenges such as inadequate infrastructure and limited resources, now requires substantial investment to meet the growing demand for quality education. Similarly, the healthcare system, despite making significant strides in improving access and reducing disease prevalence, must expand its services to cater to the increased population, ensuring the maintenance of healthcare quality. Looking forward, Namibia’s strategy to address the implications of rapid population growth involves comprehensive planning and investment in education and healthcare. These investments are crucial not only for enhancing the quality of life but also for developing a skilled workforce capable of driving economic innovation and diversification. However, without targeted efforts to tackle these issues, there is a risk of exacerbating inequalities and overburdening social services, which could…

As Africa’s Population Crosses 1.5 Billion, The Demographic Window Is Opening; Getting The Dividend Requires More Time And Stronger Effort On the World Population Day yesterday, the United Nations’ Population Division released the 28th edition of official World Population Prospects (WPP) and forecast. It is a rich repository of population estimates from 1950 to the present for 192 countries or areas of analyses of historical demographic trends and of projections to the year 2100 that reflect a range of plausible outcomes at the global, regional and national levels. Unsurprisingly, the world’s population has witnessed a tremendous growth in the last six decades. Global population was around 3 billion in 1960. In just two decades (by 1982), it had surpassed 5 billion and since November 2022 there are more than 8 billion people in the world. Africa has been at the center of this population growth – accounting for the largest relative growth, its population has expanded from 283 million in 1960 to more than 1.5 billion in 2024 – a more than five-fold increase – and is projected to increase by 950 million and touch 2.5 billion by 2050. This 63 percent increase in population will increase Africa’s share in the world’s population from the 10 percent in 1960 to 28 percent by 2050. Globally, more than 1 in 4 people will be African in 2050, from 1 in 11 in 1960. Of the eight countries that will account for more than half of the global population growth between now and 2050, five of them are in Africa: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and the United Republic of Tanzania.

World population set to peak decades sooner than previously projected #bne #bneEditorsPicks #demographics The global population is projected to grow by more than 2bn people over the next few decades, peaking at approximately 10.3bn in the 2080s before declining to around 10.2bn by the end of the century, according to a new United Nations report. The World Population Prospects 2024 report, published by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) on World Population Day, attributes the earlier-than-anticipated peak to lower fertility levels in some of the world's largest countries, notably China. China's population is expected to fall dramatically from 1.4bn in 2024 to just 633mn by 2100.

The dataset contains population data for various cities in 2024 and 2023, along with their growth rates. It has the following columns: - **City**: Name of the city. - **Country**: Country where the city is located. - **Continent**: Continent where the city is located. - **Population (2024)**: The projected population of the city in 2024. - **Population (2023)**: The population of the city in 2023. - **Growth Rate**: The population growth rate between 2023 and 2024. Would you like an analysis of the fastest-growing cities, a geographical comparison, or a different visualization of this data? Let me know how you'd like to proceed! The **Average Growth Rate by Continent** bar chart provides a clear visual comparison of population growth rates across continents. Each bar represents a continent, and the height of the bar corresponds to its average population growth rate. - **Africa** has the tallest bar, indicating the highest growth rate among all continents. This reflects rapid population expansion across many African countries. - **Asia** follows with a significant growth rate, though it's lower than Africa’s. This region includes both rapidly growing populations in South Asia and more stagnant or declining growth in East Asia. - **Oceania** shows a moderate growth rate, which varies across countries within the continent, with some smaller Pacific nations experiencing faster growth compared to larger countries like Australia. - **South America** and **North America** have similar growth rates, indicating a slower but steady population increase, with immigration contributing significantly in North America. - **Europe** has the lowest growth rate, near zero, suggesting that many European countries have either stabilized populations or are experiencing population decline due to aging populations and lower birth rates. Overall, the chart highlights a strong contrast in growth patterns between continents, with Africa experiencing a population boom, moderate growth in the Americas and Oceania, and minimal or negative growth in Europe. This variation underscores regional differences in birth rates, aging demographics, and migration trends.
