Has the world's population distribution changed much over time? find out answer In 2000, the world had 6.1 billion human inhabitants. This number could rise to more than 9 billion in the next 50 years. For the last 50 years, world population multiplied more rapidly than ever before, and more rapidly than it will ever grow in the future. Anthropologists believe the human species dates back at least 3 million years. For most of our history, these distant ancestors lived a precarious existence as hunters and gatherers. This way of life kept their total numbers small, probably less than 10 million. However, as agriculture was introduced, communities evolved that could support more people. World population expanded to about 300 million by A.D. 1 and continued to grow at a moderate rate. But after the start of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, living standards rose and widespread famines and epidemics diminished in some regions. Population growth accelerated. The population climbed to about 760 million in 1750 and reached 1 billion around 1800 (see chart, "World population growth, 1750–2150,").

Its report says there were 74 million more people in 2002 - well below the 87 million added in 1989-90. The rate of growth peaked 40 years ago, when it stood at about 2.2% a year. The bureau partly attributes the drop to women having fewer children. It also projects a population decline in Africa because of the lower life expectancy due to HIV-Aids. In 1990 women around the world gave birth to 3.3 children on average, the report says. Click here for a population projection chart By 2002, the average had dropped to 2.6 children - slightly above the level needed to assure replacement of the population. The bureau's projections show the level of fertility for the world as a whole descending below replacement level by 2050. It forecasts there will be nearly 9.1bn people by 2050, just under a 50% increase from the 6.2bn in 2002.

Chapters: Introduction I II III IV V VI VII ... XVII C hapter III. World Population Growth Population dynamics are one of the key factors to consider when thinking about development. In the past 50 years the world has experienced an unprecedented increase in population growth ( Figure 3.1 ). Do you know why? Grouping Countries by Their Level of Development A "natural population increase" occurs when the birth rate is higher than the death rate . While a country's population growth rate depends on the natural increase and on migration, world population growth is determined exclusively by the natural increase. Around the world, death rates gradually decreased in the late 19th and the 20th centuries, with death rates in the developing world plummeting after World War II thanks to the spread of modern medicine. In much of the developing world the decline in death rates preceded the decline in birth rates by 20 years or more, resulting in record- high rates of population growth of 3 percent or even 4 percent a year. Since the 1960s birth rates have also been declining rapidly in most developing countries except those in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. This trend in birth rates in the developing world is comparable to what took place in Europe and the United States in the 19th century (

19. WORLD POPULATION GROWTH CHART world population growth CHART. In the year 1900 the Earth was home to about 1.6billion people. The total had grown by 600 million in the 100 years since http://www.atmos.umd.edu/~owen/CHPI/IMAGES/pop.html

WORLD POPULATION GROWTH CHART In the year 1900 the Earth was home to about 1.6 billion people. The total had grown by 600 million in the 100 years since 1800, the year that the first billion was reached; but the change in the 19th century gave no hint of things to come. By the middle of the present century another billion had been added, in the remarkably short span of only 50 years. Moreover, and significantly, 80 percent of the growth had taken place in the world's poorer, or "developing," nations. In 1995, but 45 years later, world population had risen by an additional three billion, with most of the increase, as before, in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The dramatic fashion in which new numbers have been added to the world's population since 1950 is shown in this figure. While it took the several million years of human history to reach the first billion, and 130 years to reach the second, today each new billion is added in but 11 years. It came as something of a surprise. The fact that world population would grow by billions in but a few decades was not anticipated by demographers in the initial postwar period. The earliest United Nations projections showed more concern with the possibility of devastating mortality striking the developing countries. As a result, U.N. projections made in 1951 predicted the 1980 population at anywhere from 3 to 3.6 billion, but the higher limit was considered optimistic and unlikely. The actual figure, as best we now know, proved to be about 4.4 billion: a large difference in a less than 30 year projection.

What is the world population likely to be in the future? What forces are responsible for the world's human population? What is meant by the "Demographic Transition"? What can we learn from models of future human population growth? Past Population Growth Fertility Population-Age Pyramid Mortality ... Self-Test (from NOVA on-line) Past Human Population Growth In previous lectures, we have described how human cultural development was closely tied to changes in the natural environment. Successive cultural revolutions, such as the agricultural revolution, have led to surges in population. Figure 1 summarizes again the historical record, typical of a "J-shaped" growth, with humans filling new niches and (perhaps) not yet reaching a limiting carrying capacity . One feature to note in this plot is the lack of huge fluctuations associated with famines or wars. In fact, the nature of J-shaped (exponential) growth is such that episodic reductions due to such catastrophes usually do not affect the inexorable and overpowering upward acceleration in population size. An exception is the period of the "
