The table below shows that from 2020 to 2050 and beyond to 2100, the bulk of the world's population growth is projected to take place in Africa. Of the additional 1.9 billion people projected between 2020 and 2050, 1.2 billion will be added in Africa, 0.7 billion in Asia and zero in the rest of the world.

China's population is projected to crash 55% by the turn of the next century. Italy's will sink 41%, and Brazil's will drop 23%. Top economies face ‘population collapse’ as fertility rates ...
Population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau for 2023, 2022 and 2018 were used to determine one-year and five-year population changes for cities with populations of at least 65,000 in 2023 for ...
Population decline, also known as depopulation, is a reduction in a human population size. Throughout history, Earth's total human population has continued to grow; however, current projections suggest that this long-term trend of steady population growth may be coming to an end.
However, world population growth is unevenly distributed, with the total fertility rate ranging from the world's lowest of 0.8 in South Korea, [13] to the highest of 6.7 in Niger. [14] The United Nations estimated an annual population increase of 1.14% for the year of 2000. [15] The current world population growth is approximately 1.09%. [8]
