By 2023 the world's population of 8 billion people is projected to grow

The world's population keeps growing. During 2019, it grew up to 83 million people, which, according to estimates, means that 2.6 people are born every second.

If the rate continues, says the German Global Population Foundation in Hanover, in 2023 the world's population will reach 8 billion. Africa's greatest growth.

Within three decades, it is thought that the population there will double. Women in Africa are born about 4.4 children, more than the world average of 2.4 children per woman. One of the main causes of this Gallopant population growth in southern Sahara is unwanted pregnancy in women because they are unable to protect themselves.

The foundation calls for strengthening women's rights, sensationalising campaigns, healthcare competitions, such as access to modern contraceptions. These goals should be focused on co-operation for development.

“If women there could decide for free will if they want a child, the population in Africa in the South of the Sahara by the end of this century would be 30 per cent less, “, said Foundation Executive Director Renate Bahr.

How the population is scattered on continents, the foundation explains it through a model: If the world today were a village of 100, 59 occupants would come from Asia, 17 from Africa, ten from Europe, eight from Latin America, five from North America and one from the Ocean.
