By the year 2067, the world’s population is projected to surpass 10 billion, with the most significant growth occurring in Africa and parts of Asia. Africa is expected to nearly double its population from 2024 levels, reaching close to 2.5 billion people, driven by high fertility rates in countries like Nigeria, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Asia, while still the most populous continent, will see its growth slow, with India remaining the most populous country, followed by China, though both may experience population stabilization or decline in the latter half of the century. Europe’s population is likely to shrink due to low birth rates and aging demographics, while North America and Latin America will see modest increases, primarily through immigration and urbanization. Oceania, led by Australia and Papua New Guinea, will also experience steady but comparatively small population growth. These demographic shifts will reshape global economic, political, and social landscapes by mid-century.
