The forecast by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs said the world's population is growing at its slowest pace since 1950.
It should hit 8.5 billion in 2030 and 9.7 billion in 2050, peaking at around 10.4 billion people in the 2080s before steadying at that level until 2100.This year the global population will reach 8 billion people - that's 8 billion opportunities for lives of dignity in healthier societies empowered by rights & choices.
