		Second, the human population and its living conditions are the ultimate objects of development, with long-term human survival, health and well-being serving as criteria for judging whether development is sustainable or not.
		The current 5-year research plan for the 2006-2010 foresees a further strengthening of previous work on population forecasting and the dynamics of global population ageing as well as in the field of population-development-environment (PDE) interactions together with a new emphasis on human capital formation.
		In this new focal area of human capital dynamics we are in the midst of using demographic methods to reconstruct the populations by age, sex and level of educational attainment for 120 countries till 1970.

	Math in Daily Life -- Population Growth
		To arrive at a reasonable estimate of how the world's population will grow in the next 50 years, you need to look at birth and death rates (the rates at which people are being born and dying in any given period).
		If birth and death rates stayed the same across the years in all parts of the world, population growth could be figured with a fairly simple formula much like the one used to figure compound interest.
		Family planning initiatives, an aging population, and the effects of diseases such as AIDS are some of the factors behind this rate decrease.

	World Population Projections (Research Note 9 1999-2000)
		The percentage of the world's population in the less developed world is expected to increase from 79.3 per cent in 1995 to 87.0 per cent in 2050.
		In 1994 the UN estimated world population in 2050 to be 9833m; this figure was revised downwards by 924m (9.4 per cent) in the 1998 projections.
		The decline in world population growth, however, is not all good news, as about one third of the reduction in long-range population projections is due to increased mortality rates in sub-Sahara Africa and parts of the Indian subcontinent, resulting from the AIDS epidemic.

	DEPweb: PGR Text 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Population growth rate (PGR) is the increase in a country’s population during a period of time, usually one year, expressed as a percentage of the population at the start of that period.
		Due to the slowing of birth rates, population growth rates have started to decline in the many countries, although they still remain high in some countries because birth rates have not fallen as rapidly as death rates.
		As Chart 2 shows, population growth rate still tends to be higher in low- and middle-income countries than in high-income countries.

	Population Issues
		While population growth rates have slowed since their peak in the 1960s, the numbers being added to the population each year continue to be huge, in part because of the growth in the numbers of people of reproductive age.
		Population growth is not the only threat facing humanity, but it will be a major contributor to the crises that await us in the coming century.
		Yet, global population growth during and since the Green Revolution is continuing to consume more and more of the expanding food base, leading to a decline in per capita availability of cereal grains on a global basis over the last 15 years.

	World population boom likely by 2050 - World News - MSNBC.com
		Hania Zlotnik, the division’s director, said an important change in the new population estimate is a decrease in expected deaths from AIDS because of the rising use of anti-retroviral drugs and a downward revision of the prevalence of the disease in some countries.
		This change contributed to the slightly higher world population estimate of 9.2 billion in 2050 than the 9.1 billion figure in the 2004 estimate, the report said.
		By contrast, the total population of richer countries is expected to remain largely unchanged at 1.2 billion.

	World Population
		While world population growth in a sense transcends the narrative of human history, it has important implications both for the writing of history and prediction of its future course.
		Since world history is a creation story, that formula is not strictly observed; events that have originated important practices and institutions should, of course, be disproportionately represented in the histories.
		Finally, with respect to the future course of humanity, population growth is on a collision course with the earth’s finite territory and resources.
