According to a new study, the world population will decline for the first time in the next century. The world’s population is currently estimated to be at 7.8 billion people. According to the estimate, the global population would peak at around 9.7 billion in 2064. Then it will fall to 8.79 billion in 2100. Due to low birthrates and aging populations, up to 23 countries, including Japan, Thailand, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and others, might see their populations fall by more than 50%. The study noted the global trend of population decline. But it also predicted that some sections of the world would witness an increase in population. This includes North Africa, the Middle East, and Sub-Saharan Africa.
