The National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies, Insee, published on Thursday, June 22, a set of national and regional studies that propose a scenario of the mapping of France in 2050.
In thirty-three years, the French population is expected to reach 74 million people, compared to 65.8 million in 2013. An increase attributed to the evolution of life expectancy — 90.3 years for women in 2050, compared to 85 years in 2013, and 86.8 years for men compared to 78.7 years — and the arrival of migrants from other regions, not to mention a fertility rate that the Institute expects to remain stable.
In the PACA region, the contribution to the natural balance of the population will be 0.06%. The migratory contribution will be 0.13%.
Currently inhabited by 7.6 billion people, the Earth will house 8.6 billion in 2030, 9.8 billion in 2050, and 11.2 billion in 2100, according to estimates from the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs.
According to the document, India will soon become the most populated country on the planet, overtaking China.
Nigeria, experiencing very rapid demographic growth, is expected to surpass the United States in third place by 2050.
The number of people aged 60 or over is also expected to more than double by the same deadline. The aging population, according to the report, is expected to increase from 962 million in 2017 to around 2.1 billion in 2050 and 3.1 billion in 2100.
