Africa is projected to have the fastest population growth of any continent, with an annual growth rate of 2.5%. This is driven by high fertility rates and declining mortality rates. The continent's population is expected to double by 2050.
Asia is projected to have the second fastest population growth, at 1.4% per year. This is due to high fertility rates and declining mortality rates in many Asian countries. India is projected to be the largest contributor to this growth, with a population increase of more than 400 million by 2050.
These two regions are expected to account for most of the world's population growth over the next few decades.
