By the year 2094, the world’s population is projected to have stabilized or even begun to decline after peaking mid-century, with estimates ranging between 9 and 10 billion people. Africa will be the most populous continent, home to over 4 billion people, driven by high birth rates in countries like Nigeria, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Asia’s population, after peaking earlier in the century, will see slower growth or slight decline, with India remaining the most populous country, while China’s population ages and shrinks. Europe’s population will continue to decrease, with many countries facing significant demographic challenges due to low birth rates and aging populations. The Americas will experience modest growth, with Latin America and the Caribbean stabilizing and North America’s population buoyed by immigration. Oceania, led by Australia and Indonesia’s Papua region, will see gradual increases. Urbanization will be nearly universal, with megacities proliferating, especially in Africa and Asia, reshaping regional demographics and economic power.
