2096 Population

By the year 2096, the world’s population is projected to have stabilized or even begun to decline slightly after peaking at around 10 to 11 billion people in the mid-21st century. Africa is expected to be the most populous continent, with countries like Nigeria, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo each surpassing 300 million inhabitants, making Africa home to over 4 billion people. Asia’s population, after peaking earlier in the century, will have started to decrease, though India will remain the world’s most populous country, followed by China, Indonesia, and Pakistan. Europe’s population will continue its gradual decline, with many countries experiencing significant aging and shrinking populations. The Americas will see stable or modestly declining numbers, with the United States, Brazil, and Mexico remaining the largest countries in the region. Oceania, led by Australia and Papua New Guinea, will experience moderate growth. Urbanization will be nearly universal, with megacities proliferating across Africa and Asia, while rural populations diminish worldwide.
