The UN's projections also indicate that the global population will likely peak around 10.3 billion in the mid-2080s, rising from 8.2 billion in 2024, before gradually decreasing to 10.2 billion by 2100.
The report highlighted a global increase in life expectancy post-COVID-19, with life expectancy at birth reaching 73.3 years in 2024, marking an 8.4-year increase since 1995. It is expected to average 77.4 years by 2054.
The UN stressed that by 2080, individuals aged 65 and above will surpass those under 18, underscoring the importance for countries facing demographic aging to leverage technology for enhanced productivity, support diverse workforces, and create opportunities for continuous learning and extended careers.
