MillionYear

Increase from 3 billion in 1959 to 6 billion by 1999- double within

40 years.

Projected to grow from 6 billion in 1999 to 9 billion by 2040, an

increase of 50 percent is expected to require 41 years.


5/9




Growth rate - peak in the early 1960s due to reductions in mortality.

Slowed down due to1. Rising age at marriage

2. Increasing availability and use of effective contraceptive methods.

The annual increase in world population peaked at about 88 million in the late 1980s.

The peak occurred then, even though annual growth rates were past their peak in the

late 1960s, because the world population was higher in the 1980s than in the 1960s.
