Key Insights
The report analyzes the drivers of global demographic trends, particularly natural increase and net migration, and their varying significance across different regions. It provides detailed statistics on fertility, mortality, and net migration from the 1950s to projections for 2045-2050. Fertility rates have declined worldwide, with more developed regions experiencing below-replacement levels, while less developed regions and Africa remain above replacement levels. Mortality rates have improved globally, but Africa lags behind Europe and Northern America. Net migration shows a loss from less developed to more developed regions. The report also projects significant population growth, particularly in Africa, which will have environmental impacts on energy, forestry, and waste. It concludes by questioning which components of population change can be influenced by policy interventions.
