The U.S. Census Bureau made estimation how world will look like in 40 years. They reviewed characteristics, indexes and indicators of 228 countries and made some conclusions. India will be the most populous nation, surpassing China sometime around 2025. The U.S. will remain in the third place with population about 423 million. Japan and Russia will experience declining birth rated and will take 16th and 17th positions (currently they pose 9th and 10th positions).
Nigeria and Ethiopia are two countries that can make the biggest population gains. “Nigeria currently boasts 166 million people, but by 2050 its population is expected to jump to 402 million. Ethiozpia's population will likely triple, from 91 million to 278 million.”
According to the Census Bureau, America in 40 year will look absolutely different in ethnic aspects. Even today more than half of children under age 2 in the U.S. are ethnic minorities.
Russia is expecting to experience the biggest depopulation process – 21% drop, that is bigger the country suffered during World War II.
But this is only a forecast, nevertheless, we’ll be able to check this information in 40 years.
