By the year 2093, the world’s population is projected to be around 10 to 11 billion, with significant demographic shifts across continents and regions. Africa will have experienced the most dramatic growth, potentially reaching over 4 billion people and becoming the most populous continent, driven by high fertility rates in countries like Nigeria, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Asia’s population will likely stabilize or even decline slightly, remaining the largest continent by population but with slower growth in countries like China and India, which may each have populations between 1 and 1.3 billion due to aging and urbanization. Europe’s population is expected to shrink further, possibly falling below 650 million, with Eastern Europe and Russia seeing the steepest declines. The Americas will see moderate growth, with Latin America’s population stabilizing around 700 million and North America, led by the United States and Canada, reaching close to 500 million. Oceania, including Australia and Pacific island nations, will continue gradual growth, surpassing 60 million. Urbanization will dominate, with megacities in Africa and Asia housing tens of millions, while many rural regions face depopulation and aging.
