GLOBAL POPULATION GROWTH
IN ONE HUNDRED YEARS
Illustrated
by countries, 1950, 2000 and estimated for 2050
Why
Poverty is unlikely to be history, and why solutions are unlikely to be free
trade in commodities, migration, or migrant workers in industrialised
countries sending back income to their homelands, and why
stabilisation of populations may come too late, as
populations are already exhausting resources. The actual
population figures explain why growth rates that look
harmless, like 2.6% for Mali, are actually grenades.
