Eight Billion and Counting

  • In light of the world's eight billionth resident being born earlier this week, Bull and Bear meet up to discuss population growth.

  • The world's population is now three times larger than it was back in 1950 and it is forecast to reach 8.5 billion by 2030, 9.7 billion by 2050 and 10.4 billion by 2100.

  • There are eight countries that will account for more than half the population growth until 2050, with India overtaking China next year to become the world’s most populous country.

  • London’s resident population grew by 7.7% between 2011-2021 to stand at 8.8 million. This population growth has, however, not been uniform. Rather, it has been much more prevalent to the east and west of the capital.

  • London has retained its' credentials as the world’s most desirable city for people, businesses and investors, meaning even more people will want to come and live there.

  • Enjoy your Sunday.
