2077 Population

By the year 2077, the world’s population is projected to reach approximately 9.7 to 10 billion people, according to United Nations estimates. Africa will experience the most significant growth, with its population potentially doubling to over 2.5 billion, making it the fastest-growing continent and home to several of the world’s largest cities. Asia will remain the most populous continent, with countries like India and China continuing to have the largest populations, though India is expected to remain ahead of China due to differing demographic trends. Europe’s population is likely to decline or stabilize, with aging societies and low birth rates, while North America’s population will grow modestly, primarily due to immigration. Latin America and the Caribbean will see slower growth, with populations peaking mid-century and then gradually declining. Oceania, led by Australia, will experience steady but modest increases. Major urban centers in Africa and Asia will become megacities, while some countries in Europe and East Asia may face challenges related to shrinking and aging populations.
