When is Each Country Expected to Reach its Peak Population?
Oct 13, 2022
For the first time in contemporary history, the global population is supposed to stop growing by the end of this century because of falling global fertility rates. The global fertility rate has continued to decline to 2.3 births per woman. As a result, the global population will peak at around 10.4 billion in 2086.
More than half of the forecasted growth of the global population up to 2050 will be concentrated in 8 nations: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, and the United Republic of Tanzania.
The map below shows the decade in which each country reaches peak population.
