<<Wish ya had some evidence to back it up.>> By 2050, the world population growth rate, according to this 'spike' theory, is expected to drop to less than 0.5% a year, and world population will then stabilize at about 10 billion. The reason is the declining birth rate. In 1973, the U.N Fund for Population Activities the world's acknowledged expert organization on matters of population, estimated that the annual average birth rate during the 70s would be 1.95%. This estimate has since been successively lowered; to just 1% in 1986. UNFPA has concluded that the human race possesses an innate capacity for adjusting its growth and that the recent downward trend in birth rates marks the beginning of a new population epoch.
