2071 Population

By 2071, the world’s population is projected to reach around 9.5 to 10 billion people, though growth rates will vary significantly across continents and regions. Africa will experience the most dramatic increase, potentially doubling its population to over 2.5 billion, with Nigeria, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo among the fastest-growing countries. Asia, while still the most populous continent, will see its growth slow, stabilizing at around 5.2 billion, with India remaining the largest country by population, while China’s population may begin to decline. Europe’s population is expected to shrink, dropping below 700 million due to low birth rates and aging demographics, while North America’s population will grow more moderately, approaching 450 million, largely driven by immigration in the United States and Canada. Latin America and the Caribbean will see slower growth, reaching about 800 million, while Oceania, led by Australia, will approach 60 million. Urbanization will intensify, with megacities proliferating in Asia and Africa, reshaping the world’s demographic and economic landscape.
