POPULATION GROWTH<br />
• Current global population is probably about 7 billion<br />
although statistics are unreliable due to infrequent and<br />
uncertain census counts in many populated developing<br />
nations.<br />
• Population is expected to increase every year where the<br />
current annual growth rate is about 1.7%.<br />
• Population is predicted to decline in some developed<br />
nations (Sweden, Japan, Russia).<br />
• In many developing nations population<br />
will double over the next 15-20 years<br />
(Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand,<br />
Vietnam, etc.)
