2079 Population

By the year 2079, the world’s population is projected to approach 10 billion, though growth rates will vary significantly across continents and regions. Africa is expected to experience the most dramatic increase, potentially doubling its population to over 2.5 billion, with Nigeria becoming one of the world’s most populous countries. Asia will remain the most populous continent, but its growth will slow, and countries like China and Japan may see population declines due to aging demographics, while India is likely to maintain its position as the world’s most populous country. Europe’s population will continue to shrink and age, with many countries facing population declines. The Americas will see modest growth, mainly in Latin America, while North America’s population will rise slightly, driven largely by immigration. Oceania’s population, led by Australia, will continue to grow steadily but remain small in global terms. Urbanization will intensify worldwide, with megacities proliferating, especially in Africa and Asia, reshaping the demographic landscape of the 21st century.
