UN report: By 2100 the population of Armenia will be reduced to 1.8 million people, meanwhile the population of the Earth will increase to 11 billion
ArmInfo.According to the UN report in Armenia at the moment there are 2.93 million people. However, by 2050 the population of Armenia will decrease to 2.7 million, and in 2100 it will be only 1.8 million people.
Against this background, it is noteworthy that President Serzh Sargsyan made a statement at the first meeting of the National Assembly of the sixth convocation in which he stressed that by 2040 the population of the Republic should be 4 million. The program of the new government also has a whole section aimed at improving the demographic but, apparently, according to UN experts, these measures and aspirations are not sufficient to increase the number of the country's population.
To note, according to the UN report, the world population will reach almost 10 billion people by 2050, and by 2100 will exceed the 11 billion mark. According to the document, now on the planet live about 7.4 billion people. The world population is projected to increase by more than a billion people over the next 13 years, reaching 8.6 billion in 2030, and will then increase to 9.8 billion in 2050 and 11.2 billion in 2100.
It is noted that the population of the Earth increases mainly in account for 47 least developed countries, where the birth rate is 4.3 children per woman. Now in these states lives one billion, and in 33 years will be 1.9 billion. During the same period, the total population of 26 African countries will double. The trend will continue even though the world's fertility rate associated with population aging will continue to decline. Also, experts predict that the number of Indians will exceed the number of Chinese by about 2024, while Nigerians will "bypass" Americans by 2050.
The population of Georgia will also decrease from 3.5 million to 2.9 million, from 9.8 million to 9.5 million from Azerbaijan, and from 144 million to 124 million from Russia. The population of Turkey, on the contrary, will grow to 85.7 million.
