Notes on Trends in Population Growth Worldwide
{"Image DocumentName": "Notes on Trends in Population Growth Worldwide", "Image ImageDescription": "This figure illustrates the lag between changes in the rate of growth and the net increase in population per year. Over the period , the population growth rate declined (a reflection of declining fertility), yet millions of people were added to the world\u2019s population (which peaked around 1985, when 87 million people were added each year). From 2000 on, the growth rate will continue to decline. Between 2015 and 2020, we will still be adding 69 million people each year. Why? Because the generation of women now having their children is very large as the result of high fertility in their mothers\u2019 and grandmothers\u2019 generations.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
