The world population is predicted to hit 8 billion, an incredible milestone in human history. This comes just 11 years after the population reached 7 billion.

The population has grown fast for nearly all of humanity’s existence. Between 1 C.E. and 1650, the population grew just 200 million, however, the world is now expected to reach another half a billion by 2030.

The growth is attributed to the increase in life expectancy mostly due to the medical developments. The U.N. predicts that the population will peak at around 10.7 billion in the 2080s. However, population development is at it's slowest its been since 1950, and was even under 1% in 2020.
