| | World population - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The world population is the total number of humans alive on the planet Earth at a given time. | | | By some estimates, there are now one billion (thousand million) young people in the world between the ages of 15 and 24. | | | In 1798, Thomas Malthus predicted that population growth would eventually outrun food supply, resulting in catastrophe. |

| | World Population Implosion? |
| | In the world as a whole, by these projections, there would be 100 million fewer youths in 2050 than there were in 1995; where they had comprised 18% of the world's population in 1995, they would account for less than 12% by 2050. | | | In a world like that imagined in the UN's "low variant" projections, governments would be subject to intense--very possibly unbearable--budgetary and political pressure to overhaul the public welfare systems to which we are accustomed today. | | | In this world with negative population growth, the profile of the world's most populous countries would also look rather different from the rankings with which we have been familiar. |

| | World Population Since Creation |
| | Probably the world population by the time of the Flood was indeed many billions of people, but there is a lot we do not know about this amazing period of human history before the Flood. | | | The following graph is helpful in correlating population growth of the world with population estimates for the Jewish population in the world from Jewish scholars. | | | On this basis the world population at the time of the Flood would have been 235 million people. |

| | In fact, the population of the developed nations as a group will most likely decline by almost 10 million people between now and the year 2050 - according to the UN medium variant projections. | | | There are several overwhelmingly Muslim populations with very high population growth rates, such as those of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait or the United Arab Emirates. | | | This is an unavoidable consequence of large birth cohorts during the 1950s and 1960s and the rapid fertility decline since the 1970s. |

| | The United States is the only industrialized country in the world where large population increases are projected, due mainly to immigration. | | | This number dropped to 3.1 million in 1973 and began to rise again in the late 1970s as baby boomers began having children, peaking at 4.1 in 1991. | | | In 1999, the U.S. labor force consisted of 137.7 million people, including the unemployed. |
