The census department of United Nations has released the latest report on this. World population, which is currently 7.3 billion (730 Crores), is likely to touch 9.7 billion (970 Crores) by 2050.
By the end of the century, it is estimated to be between 9,7 billion and 13.3 billion. It also mentions African countries will play a large role in this population increase.
Asia continent currently has the maximum population. By the middle of this century, it will continue to have 5.3 billion.
