World's population will soar to 11 billion by 2100 and HALF will live in Africa, claims report
By 2050, the global population will rise from 7.3 billion to 9.7 billion
Africa’s population of 1.2 billion is expected to rise to 5.6 billion by 2100
UN study claims probability population growth will end this century is 23%
Predictions were made at the 2015 Joint Statistical Meetings in Seattle

The global population is set to reach 11 billion by the end of the century - and Africans will make up half of this number, a UN study predicts.
By 2050, the global population will rise from 7.3 billion to 9.7 billion and by 2100, Africa’s current population of 1.2 billion is expected to explode to 5.6 billion.
Experts predict such rapid growth will boost pollution, make resources scarce and fuel unemployment, poverty, crime and political unrest.

For example, in Nigeria, the continent’s most-populous country, the high fertility rate would result in a more than fourfold projected increase in total population by 2100 from 182 million to 752 million people.
Director Wilmoth said although there is considerable uncertainty about these future trends, there is a 90 per cent chance Nigeria’s population will exceed 439 million people in 2100, which is nearly 2.5 times its current size.
Looking more closely at the global projections, he continued that Asia, with a current population of 4.4 billion, is likely to remain the most populous continent.
Its population is expected to peak around the middle of the century at 5.3 billion, and then decline to 4.9 billion people by the end of the century.

These results have important policy implications for national governments.
Rapid population growth in high-fertility countries can fuel a range of existing problems including pollution, a scarcity of resources, unemployment, poverty, crime and political unrest.

Those figures are scary. I think there will be a third WW, then half of humanity will be annihilated.

Thats fucking crazy. Whenever I read these stats makes me feel better I don't have kids. Perhaps a motivation to never have any.

Meh, according to Pentti Linkola, the U.N. nuke 90% of humanity and force the remaining 10% to adopt a pre-industrial agrarian lifestyle...

I think it's more the amount of resources people consume than overpopulation per se that is really problematic... If you don't buy your kids any toy/you force them to use the same clothing over and over again/etc., nothing prevents you from marrying an Albanian woman to raise a large family with her... That way you will win the demographic race against your evil Greek, Macedonian and Serbian neighbors!

Damn, I'm preparing my white flag, never used since 1940.

The vast majority of the world's issues would be resolved if humans weren't so selfish and actually maintained a sustainably low birthrate. A mandatory/incentivized birth regulatory program would go a very long way in reducing the world population and increasing global standards of living.

The same report made a scary prediction for Greece, the Greek population in 2100 is predicted to drop to 2,700,000! Ancient Greece had a 10 million population, same as now.

Germany will be 65 million

Actually, if everyone were to have 2 kids exactly, then the world population would remain stable, with no increase or decrease.

Mother Europe is fucked.

not enough, according to the population projections
