Indicator: average annual population growth, 2010 - 2015
Source: UN Population Division
Year of data: 2008 revision
Target: the actual minimum growth |  |
|
Population growth is expressed as the projected annual growth in % during the years 2010-2015. Though many politicians in industrialized countries are worrying about the demographic developments, particularly a decline in population, a worldwide continuous population growth cannot be sustainable. It would mean a growing demand for available space and other resources on our planet, many of them being finite and not renewable. |
