答案The table shows dramatic increases in the total world population from 2.5 billion in 1950 to 6 billion in 2000, with an expected increase to 9 billion in 2050. However, this trend is affecting parts of the world differently. Throughout the period Asia is expected to retain the largest share of the world population(56 to 59%)so their population will probably continue to increase in line with world growth. Meanwhile, regions like Africa and Latin America have experienced similar rates of increase in their populations up to 2000(4% and 3% of the total, respectively), but Africa is expected to grow much faster as it rises to 20% of the total by 2050. In contrast, more industrialised regions saw a large fall in their proportion of the global population, from almost a quarter in 1950 in Europe to only 12% by 2000 and from 7% to 5% in North America. This decline is expected to continue to a mere 11% of the total in both regions together by 2050. Overall the figures suggest that population increases will continue in less developed regions, but not in the more industrialised ones.
