2097 Population

By the year 2097, the world’s population is projected to have stabilized or 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, with Nigeria, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo among the largest countries. Asia’s population will have plateaued or slightly decreased, remaining significant at around 4 billion, with India and China still among the world’s most populous nations, though India will likely remain ahead of China. Europe’s population will have shrunk to below 600 million, with aging demographics and low birth rates. The Americas will see modest growth, with Latin America and the Caribbean reaching around 800 million, while North America’s population, led by the United States and Mexico, will approach 500 million. Oceania, including Australia and Pacific Island nations, will have a population nearing 70 million. Urbanization will be nearly universal, with megacities proliferating across Africa and Asia, while some regions in Europe and East Asia may experience population decline and demographic challenges.
