List of states and territories according to population development

The list of states and territories according to population development shows territories of the world in order of their predicted population for the years 2050 and 2100 . The current population figures for 2018 and the current fertility rates are also given. The development of the number of inhabitants results largely from the fertility rates. At a rate of 2.1 children per woman, the population tends to remain constant. More children per woman means a correspondingly higher growth rate. Naturally, there are exceptions in the case of increased mortality (e.g. as a result of AIDS or war). Changes in the fertility rate and migratory movements are factored in in the forecasts for 2050 and 2100. To compare the development in the last decades, the population figures from 1950 are given.

list

The data come from the UN Population Division . The fertility rate comes from the German Foundation for World Population .

All population figures are estimates and are given in millions. All figures from 2050 onwards are based on the UN mean population forecast. Many of today's states did not exist in 1950 or did not exist within the limits of today, all population figures were converted.
