Summary

Description
English: Contrary to popular belief, global population growth is not exponential. Although the overall population is still increasing, the peak of growth occurred in the 1960s when it exceeded 2% annually. Since then, growth rates have dropped by more than half, now is below 1%. The United Nations predicts this decline will continue, and by the end of the century, we may see negative growth, meaning a global population decrease rather than an increase.

The designation of “more developed” and “less developed”, is intended for statistical purposes and does not express a judgment about the stage in the development process reached by a particular country or area.
