Global population is forecast to peak at 9.73 billion people in 2064 and decrease to 8.79 billion by 2100.

The decrease is due to improved access to women’s reproductive health services and education as fertility falls and life expectancy increase.

Declines in working-age populations in 34 countries including India and China will hurt economic growth, labor forces and social support systems.
