• Total population for 2050 will reach 9.078 billion• Population for 2003 is expected to be 6.302 billion• In spite of higher population for the future, the growth

rate of the population is expected to fall due to the decline in fertility rate and the toll taken by the HIV/AIDS pandemic in some countries. Also due to the ethnic cleaning and current treats of SARS.
