        Humanity reached a milestone in November 2022, when the global population exceeded eight billion people. Reaching this number means people are living longer, with generally better access to healthcare, food, and sanitation than past generations.

        Along with passing this milestone, many demographic changes are expected to occur in the coming years. A United Nations report shows that the world¡¦s population will increase to around 9.7 billion people by the year 2050. It is predicted to peak three decades later at approximately 10.4 billion people and stay around this number until the end of the century. What¡¦s interesting to note is that more than half of the population growth up to 2050 will come from just eight countries¡Xthe Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Tanzania.






        Although the population is increasing, it isn¡¦t climbing as quickly as in the past. 25 The global number has been growing at its slowest rate since the 1950s. In fact, the rate has been below 1% since 2020.

        Furthermore, fertility rates have been steadily declining over the years. Around two-thirds of humanity lives in countries with fertility rates below 2.1 births per woman, which is the number needed to maintain a population.

        Meanwhile, the share of the global population aged 65 and above is rapidly rising. It is predicted to rise from 10% in 2022 to 16% in 2050. Countries with aging populations should adapt their policies by establishing or improving universal healthcare and long-term care systems.



1. According to the passage, when is the global population supposed to reach its peak?

(A) 2022. (B) 2050. (C) 2080. (D) 2100.

2. Why is a fertility rate of 2.1 births per woman significant?

(A) It is the highest fertility rate ever recorded.

(B)  It is the current global average fertility rate.

(C)  It is the average fertility rate of the eight largest countries.

(D)  It is the number of births a population needs to maintain itself.

3. What are governments in aging societies advised to do?

(A) Raise fertility rates.

(B) Better healthcare.

(C) Spend more on education.

(D) Pay medical costs for the elderly.
