The End Of Population Growth?
8 August 2001 - 1:00pm
A demographic study suggests that the world's explosive population growth could stop growing before the end of the 21st century.
"The foreboding threat of world disaster from explosive population growth could turn out to be overly alarmist, say the authors of a new demographic study...It suggests that the total number of people may peak in 70 years or so at about 9 billion people, compared with 6.1 billion today... But some population experts are at odds with [the]conclusions, arguing there is no guarantee that population growth will stabilize before the end of the 21st century."
