African Population Projected to Grow Rapidly in Upcoming Decades
Total population by region with future projections through 2100
This line chart shows the population growth trends in the six major regions of the world: Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America, and Oceania. Combining historical estimates and the United Nations' projections for growth through 2100 show how regional populations change over time.
Data relies on historical estimates for years before 1950 and uses UN population records for 1950 and later. Future projections are based on the UN medium-fertility scenario.
