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.)
