Population growth from 1750 to 2150

Population growth is increasing annually especially in the poor countries. The chart shows population growth in richer and poorer countries over 400 years from 1750 to 2150.

As we see the total world population was less than 1 billion in 1750. In addition, the population in the less developed countries was 3 or 4 times greater than in more developed countries. It increased slightly from 1750 to 1950 for both categories. By the year 2000 it increased sharply to 6.1 billion, mostly in less developed countries while it stayed at the same rate for more developed countries. The prediction is that by the year 2150 the population will increase to over 10 billion. The increase will be in less developed countries, in contrast to more developed countries where it will stay the same and maybe fall down a little bit.

In conclusion, it is estimated that the total world population will increase almost twofold to what we are now especially for less developed countries by the year 2150.
