2078 Population

By the year 2078, the world’s population is projected to reach around 10 billion, though growth rates will vary significantly across continents and regions. Africa will experience the most dramatic increase, with its population potentially surpassing 3.5 billion, making it the most populous continent. Asia, while still home to the largest number of people, will see its population stabilize or even decline slightly, with India and China remaining the most populous countries, though India will maintain its lead. Europe’s population will likely continue to shrink due to low birth rates and aging demographics, with several countries experiencing significant population declines. North America’s population will grow modestly, driven mainly by immigration, while Latin America and the Caribbean will see slower growth as fertility rates fall. Oceania, led by Australia and Papua New Guinea, will experience steady but smaller-scale increases. Urbanization will continue to intensify, with megacities in Africa and Asia dominating the global urban landscape.
