2061 Population

By the year 2061, the world’s population is projected to reach approximately 10 billion people, reflecting continued but slowing growth compared to previous decades. Asia will remain the most populous continent, with India and China together accounting for over 2.5 billion people, though India is expected to maintain its lead as the world’s most populous country. Africa will experience the fastest population growth, likely surpassing 2.5 billion residents, with Nigeria emerging as the third most populous country globally. Europe’s population will continue to decline and age, dropping below 700 million, while Latin America and the Caribbean will see modest growth, stabilizing around 750 million. North America’s population, driven by the United States and continued immigration, will approach 430 million. Oceania, led by Australia, will see its population rise slowly to around 60 million. Urbanization will intensify, with megacities proliferating, particularly in Asia and Africa, reshaping the demographic landscape of the world.
