World population will increase 40 percent by 2050

UNITED NATIONS The U-N says the world's 50 poorest countries will provide nearly all of a 40-percent increase in the planet's population by the year 2050.
In a report yesterday, the U-N Population Division predicted the world's population in 2050 will be more than nine (b) billion people. Less developed countries will see an explosion from five-point-three (b) billion to just under eight (b) billion people. By contrast, the population of richer developed countries will remain mostly unchanged, at one-point-two (b) billion.

The report reconfirms many trends, including an increasingly aging population in developed countries. But their populations won't decline because of immigration.

The U-S is projected to be the major net recipient of international migrants, with its population increasing from 298 (m) million now to 394 (m) million people in 2050.

Oh really. How nice of the U.N. to offer us up.
