Population growth

The graph shows population growth in richer and poorer countries between 1750 and 2150. Overall the growth in poorer countries has increased sharply.

The biggest increase in growth in rich countries was in 2000 at about one billion and then it will remain constant with perhaps a little decrease according to the estimates from the UN and the Population Reference Bureau. According to the graph the most significant increase was in less developed countries in 2000 at about 6.1 billion and according to the estimates it will still increase and it will reach ten billion in 2150.

In conclusion, according to the estimates from the UN and the Population Reference Bureau the growth in poorer countries is more than in rich countries and that may be because of the pollution in rich countries which comes from factories and cars and affects people’s health.
