World population forecast to decline for the first time in centuries

A new study published in the Lancet journal revealed that for the first time in centuries, the world’s population is set to decline starting in the next few decades.

There are currently around 7.8 billion people in the world. Experts believe the global population would peak at around 9.7 billion in 2064 before steadily declining to 8.79 billion by 2100.

From the Lancet? Now that’s a trusted source.
