The world we live in… is experiencing great change Larger world population Concentration in less developed regions Lower mortality Progress in women’s equality Changing family composition and structure Older populations and increased longevity Increased migration and ethnic diversity
4
The world we live in…larger world population The world population will increase by two to three billion in the next half century. The world population will reach roughly nine billion by 2050.
5
The world we live in… concentration in less developed regions Nearly all the population growth will take place in less developed regions. The population of the developed regions is expected to remain the same as today, 1.2 billion. Almost half of the roughly 76 million people added to the world every year will be born in only six countries.
6
The world we live in…lower mortality By 2050, the global life expectancy at birth is projected to increase by at least 10 years, reaching around 76 years.
7
The world we live in…progress in women’s equality Growing numbers of women are seeking higher education, employment, and social identity. Women with university degrees has doubled over the level a generation ago.
8
The world we live in…changing family composition and structure The “traditional” family will no longer to be the norm. In many industrialized countries, one woman out of seven aged 40-44 years is childless. Divorce has also increased in these countries.
9
The world we live in…older populations and increased longevity By mid-century the proportion of those 65 years or older is expected to roughly double. By 2050, the number of centenarians is expected to increase almost fifteen-fold to 3.7 million.
10
The world we live in…increased migration and ethnic diversity Between 1970 and 1995, the largest point of origin for migrants was Mexico Between 1991 and 2001, the number of migrants arriving in the USA rose by 28% and in the UK rose by 20.3%, but decreased in Germany by 19.5% and Japan by 28.6%. It is estimated that more than half of known graduates from the world’s poorest nations are living abroad.
11
What it all means… The expected consequences of the population changes that the world is passing through are profound, affecting virtually every aspect of human society. Population issues will continue to require sustained and critical attention and informed policy making at the national, regional, and global levels. The decisions and actions taken today will affect not only human well-being, but also quality of all live on the planet in the coming decades and beyond.
