The world population of 7.2 billion in mid-2013 is projected to increase by almost one billion people within the next twelve years. It is projected to reach 8.1 billion in 2025, and to further increase to 9.6 billion in 2050 and 10.9 billion by 2100. This assumes a decline of fertility for countries where large families are still prevalent as well as a slight increase of fertility in several countries with fewer than two children per woman on average.…

By the end of the first millennium AD, estimates place the total world human population at around 200 million and 300 million in the year 1,000. The population of the United States population is 312,000,000 as of August 2011 and is rapidly growing at an fast and unhealthy rate bringing us to around 7.5 billion today.

Most people think that the world faces an overpopulation problem. But Phillip Longman argues otherwise in his book The Empty Cradle. He warns instead of a global baby bust. World population growth has fallen 40 percent since the late 1960s. The human population is expected to peak at nine billion by 2070, and many countries will see their population shrink long before that. Japan will have 49 retirees per 100 workers as early as 2005.…
In a world where trade is increasingly becoming digitalized online, there are new and challenging strategies emerging. This essay aims to analyze and determine these strategies. Considering the example of eBay and Amazon, their business models and their multi-sided platforms, we can compare them to decide which strategies work in this market and how, in the future, they can keep a competitive edge as the market continuously changes. However, as Amazon and eBay have eventually crossed paths in an attempt to expand in the ecommerce market, the question persists whether the market is big enough for both. This essay will look at how eBay and Amazon have evolved their business structure and how changes in the market have caused both firms to reconsider their core strategies and growth strategies.…

10. The world’s growth rate has been decreasing since the 1960s when the world’s growth rate was at a peak of 2 percent. Now, in 2017, the work growth rate is around 1.12 percent. Although the world growth rate continues to slowly decrease, it doesn’t mean it will stop to increase. That being said, the population will continue to largely grow, maybe not as much as before but absolutely enough to consistently increase.…
According to the International Program Center, U.S. Census Bureau, the total population of the World, projected to 03/27/08 at 19:37 GMT (EST+5) is 6,657,527,872. (US Census Bureau) This rapid growth in population means little to most people living in this today’s world but it’s a phenomenon that should be a concern to all. It took from the start of human history to the industrial revolution around 1945 for the population to grow to 2 billion. If we then look at the figures after 1945 then we would realize that this figure has more than doubled and even tripled. There is a fear that if left uncontrolled and this figure continues to grow exponentially the world population could reach a total of 8 – 12 billion by the end of the 21st century. The world 's current growth rate is about 1.14% which would cause the population to double in 65 years. The world 's growth rate peaked in the 1960s at 2% which was projected to double after 35 years. (Rosenburg)…
It is estimated that the growth of the population will increase from 303 million to 438 million in the year 2050. Between 2000 and 2050, census data suggest, the U.S. 15-to-64 age group is expected to grow 42 percent. In contrast, because of falling fertility rates, the number of young and working-age people is expected to decline elsewhere: by 10 percent in China, 25 percent in Europe, 30 percent in South Korea and more than 40 percent in Japan.…
