UNITED NATIONS -- The United Nations estimated Monday, July 11, that the world’s population will reach eight billion on November 15 and that India will replace China as the world’s most populous nation next year.
The report, “World Population Prospects 2022,” puts the world's population at 7.942 billion now and forecasts it will reach eight billion in mid-November. “This is an occasion to celebrate our diversity, recognize our common humanity, and marvel at advancements in health that have extended lifespans and dramatically reduced maternal and child mortality rates,” Guterres said in a statement. “At the same time, it is a reminder of our shared responsibility to care for our planet and a moment to reflect on where we still fall short of our commitments to one another.
“The population of 61 countries or areas are projected to decrease by one percent or more between 2022 and 2050,” the report says. The share of working age people between ages 25 and 64 has been increasing in most countries of sub-Saharan Africa, parts of Asia and in Latin America and the Caribbean “thanks to recent reductions in fertility,” the report says.
