INTRODUCTION
This presentation will discuss the current and
future state of global demography, including
population trends, aging populations, migration
patterns, and other factors that impact the
world's population.
 GLOBAL DEMOGRAPHY
Global demography refers to the study of human population
dynamics at a global scale, including patterns of population growth,
distribution, and migration. It encompasses a broad range of topics
related to population trends, including fertility rates, aging
populations, urbanization, and environmental factors. Here are some
of the key factors that shape global demography:
 01

POPULATION
GROWTH
The world's population has grown significantly over the past
few decades, with an estimated 7.9 billion people living on the
planet in 2023. This growth has been driven by improvements in
healthcare, sanitation, and technology, which have led to
longer life expectancies and decreased mortality rates.
The global population has grown steadily
over the years, with an estimated population
of 6.8 billion in 2010 and a projected
population of 7.9 billion in 2023, according to
data from the United Nations. Here is a
breakdown of the population growth from
2010-2023 by year:
The global population has experienced steady growth
from 2010 to 2023. According to estimates from the
United Nations, the global population increased from 6.8
billion in 2010 to 7.9 billion in 2023. This represents a
growth rate of approximately 16.2% over the course of
13 years.
2010: 6.8 billion
2011: 6.9 billion It's important to note that
2012: 7.0 billion
2013: 7.1 billion population growth rates vary
2014: 7.2 billion widely by region and country, and
2015: 7.3 billion
2016: 7.4 billion that these estimates are subject
2017: 7.5 billion to change depending on various
2018: 7.6 billion
2019: 7.7 billion
factors such as fertility rates,
2020: 7.8 billion mortality rates, and migration
2021: 7.9 billion
2022: 8.0 billion
patterns.
2023: 8.1 billion (projected)
Year World Population Yearly Change
2023 8,031,800,429 0.98 %
2024 8,108,605,388 0.96 %
2025 8,184,437,460 0.94 %
2026 8,259,276,737 0.91 %
It's worth noting that population growth rates have varied widely
by region and country over this period. For example, some countries
have experienced rapid population growth due to high fertility
rates and limited access to family planning resources, while others
have seen declining population growth rates due to factors such as
aging populations and low fertility rates. Additionally, factors
such as migration patterns and natural disasters can also impact
population growth rates over time
The tools used to count the global population have evolved over time, with early
methods relying on estimates and extrapolations based on limited data, while modern
methods use advanced technology and data collection techniques. Some of the key tools
used to count the global population include:
• Census: A census is a comprehensive survey of a population conducted by a
government or other organization. It typically involves collecting detailed
information on the size, age, gender, and other demographic
characteristics of a population.
• Vital registration systems: These systems are used to record births, deaths,
and other vital events in a population. This information can be used to
estimate population size and mortality rates.
• Sampling and surveys: Sampling and surveys are used to estimate population
size and other demographic characteristics based on a sample of the
population. These methods can be less accurate than a census, but are
often more cost-effective and efficient.

• Remote sensing and satellite imagery: Remote sensing and satellite imagery
can be used to estimate population size and distribution in areas where
traditional data collection methods are difficult or impossible.

• Geospatial analysis: Geospatial analysis involves using geographic

information systems (GIS) and other tools to analyze data related to
population distribution and other demographic characteristics.
Overall, the tools used to count the global population have become
more sophisticated and accurate over time, enabling us to better
understand population trends and plan for the future.
02 AGING
POPULATION
 .
• Population aging refers to changes in the age composition of a
population such that there is an increase in the proportion of older
persons. Demographers use age/sex pyramids to illustrate the
distribution of populations across all age groups.
• One consequence of population growth is the aging of the population.
As people live longer, the proportion of older adults in the
population increases. This trend has important implications for
healthcare, social welfare, and economic development, as older
adults often require more care and support.
AGING POPULATION DATA PERCENTAGE
FERTILITY
RATES 03
 .
• The total fertility rate (TFR) of a population is the
average number of children that would be born to a
female over their lifetime if: they were to experience the
exact current age-specific fertility rates (ASFRs) through
their lifetime. they were to live from birth until the end
of their reproductive life
 .
• Despite global population growth, fertility rates
have been declining in many countries. This trend
is particularly pronounced in developed
countries, where women are delaying childbirth
and having fewer children overall. This decline in
fertility rates has important implications for
population growth and economic development.
 04
MIGRATION
 .
• Migration refers to the number of migrants,
people changing their residence to or from a
given area (usually a country) during a given time
period (usually one year).
 .
• Migration is an important factor in global
demography, as people move from one country to
another in search of better opportunities, safety,
and security. Migration patterns are shaped by
political, economic, and social factors, and can have
important implications for the demographics of both
the sending and receiving countries.
 .
• The share of international migrants who are men has
ticked up in recent decades. In 2000, 50.6% of
international migrants were men and 49.4% were women.
By 2020, men made up 51.9% of global migrants while
48.1% were women, according to estimates by the United
Nations
 05

URBANIZATION
 .
• Urbanization refers to the concentration of human
populations into discrete areas. This concentration leads
to the transformation of land for residential,
commercial, industrial and transportation purposes. It
can include densely populated centers, as well as their
adjacent periurban or suburban fringes
 .
• Another important trend in global demography is
urbanization. As more people move to cities in search of
employment and other opportunities, urban populations
are growing rapidly. This trend has important
implications for infrastructure, housing, and social
services, as cities struggle to keep up with the demands of
a growing population.
ENVIRONMENTAL
FACTORS 06
 .
• Environmental factors also play a role in global
demography, as climate change, natural disasters, and
other environmental threats can impact population
growth and migration patterns. As the effects of climate
change become more pronounced, we can expect to see
changes in global demography as people adapt to new
environmental conditions.
 .
• The demographic environment examples include age,
race, gender, income and education. The demographic
environment is the make-up of a population in terms
of these factors. Each of these characteristics is
used to define a market segment, which will
generally have fairly similar buying characteristics
REAL-LIFE
EXAMPLES 07
real-life examples that illustrate the impact of global demography on various
aspects of society

Aging Populations: Japan is a country Migration: The European refugee crisis of

with one of the most rapidly aging
populations in the world. This
demographic shift has had significant
implications for healthcare, social
welfare, and economic development. The
Japanese government has implemented
policies to support the elderly
population, such as increasing funding
for healthcare and social services, and
encouraging immigration to address the
shortage of young workers.
2015 is an example of how migration
patterns can impact global demography.
The crisis saw millions of refugees fleeing
conflict and persecution in Syria and
other countries, seeking asylum in Europe.
This migration had significant implications
for the demographics of the receiving
countries, as well as for the refugees
themselves.
real-life examples that illustrate the impact of global demography on various
aspects of society

• Fertility Rates: South Korea is a Urbanization: China is a country that has

country with one of the lowest
fertility rates in the world. The
government has implemented policies
to encourage childbirth, such as
increased funding for childcare and
education, and providing financial
incentives to families who have
children. This is an attempt to
address the country's aging
population and declining birth rate.
experienced rapid urbanization over the
past few decades, with millions of people
moving from rural areas to cities in search
of employment and better opportunities.
This urbanization has had significant
implications for infrastructure, housing,
and social services, as the government has
had to invest in building new cities and
upgrading existing ones to accommodate the
growing population.
real-life examples that illustrate the impact of global demography on various
aspects of society

• Environmental Factors: The impacts of climate change are

already being felt around the world, and are expected to have
significant implications for global demography in the future.
Rising sea levels, increased frequency of natural disasters, and
other environmental threats are likely to drive migration
patterns and impact population growth in various regions
around the world.
 As of 2021, the estimated global population is 7.9 billion people.
• The global population is projected to
reach 9.7 billion by 2050 and 10.9 billion
by 2100, according to the United Nations
Population Division.
• Fertility rates have been declining in many
countries, with the global average
dropping from 3.2 children per woman in
1990 to 2.4 children per woman in 2020.
• Life expectancy has been increasing
globally, with the global average rising
from 65 years in 1990 to 73 years in 2020.
• Migration patterns are changing, with many people
moving from rural to urban areas and across
international borders for work, education, and
other reasons.
• The aging population is becoming a significant
concern, with the number of people aged 65 and
older projected to more than double from 703
million in 2019 to 1.5 billion in 2050.
• These factors and trends can all influence future
population growth and demographic changes, and
may have significant implications for global
development, public health, and sustainability

GENERALIZATION OF THE TOPIC GLOBAL DEMOGRAPHY:
• Global demography is a complex and multifaceted
topic, with many factors influencing population trends,
aging populations, migration patterns, and other
important aspects of the world's population. By
understanding these trends and their implications, we
can better prepare for the future and work to create a
more sustainable and equitable world.
