「世界人口2084年をピークに下り坂」…韓国は2200万人以下に
”World population to peak in 2084 and then decline”…South Korea's population to fall below 22 million
The world population is expected to peak in 2084 and then begin to decline. According to the Wall Street Journal on the 11th (local time), the United Nations has announced that the world population will peak in 2084.
The government has released its biennial population estimates report, which predicts that the population will peak at 10.29 billion in 2019, before beginning a downward trend to 10.18 billion by 2100.
According to the report's population forecast data, South Korea's population will fall below 50 million in 2037 and below 40 million in 2060. The population in 2100 will be approximately
The number of children born each year is estimated at 22,007,000. According to the United Nations, women around the world are having one fewer child on average than they did in the 1990s. Today, the average number of children per woman in more than half of the world's countries is 10,000.
The birth rate has fallen to below 2.1 children. “In some countries, the birth rate is much lower than we had previously expected,” said Lee Jin-hwa, undersecretary-general for the UN Economic and Social Affairs Department.
The UN said that fertility rates in South Korea, China, Italy and Spain are declining faster than in other parts of the world.
He explained that countries such as India and the US currently have "lowest fertility rates," with an average of 1.4 children per woman in these countries.
The South Korean government announced in February that the results of the 2023 Population Trends Survey Birth and Death Statistics (provisional) showed that the number of births and deaths in the country had increased by 1.2% from last year.
The number of births stood at 230,000, the lowest since statistics were collected in 1970. The UN also said that as of 2024, the population size of 63 countries and regions, including China, Germany, Japan and Russia, will peak.
Meanwhile, the populations of 126 countries, including India, the United States, Indonesia, Nigeria and Pakistan, are expected to grow until 2054 before peaking near 2100.
