GLOBAL POPULATION GROWTH
IN ONE HUNDRED YEARS
Illustrated by countries, 1950, 2000 and estimated for 2050
Why Poverty is unlikely to be history, and why solutions are unlikely to be free trade in commodities, migration, or migrant workers in industrialised countries sending back income to their homelands, and why stabilisation of populations may come too late, as populations are already exhausting resources. The actual population figures explain why growth rates that look harmless, like 2.6% for Mali, are actually grenades.
