How selected countries with different population circumstances in 2024 are projected to follow different population paths to 2050.
Countries starting from different population sizes in 2024 are projected to follow different paths to 2050.
Angola (37.9 million) and Poland (37.6 million) have almost the same population in 2024. Türkiye (85.4 million) and France (66.3 million) are larger. Bars show each country's 2024 population, with projected 2050 population shown alongside for comparison.
Angola and Poland start from nearly the same population in 2024 but are projected to diverge by 2050.
Angola's population is projected to grow from 37.9 million to 74.3 million, an increase of 36.4 million. Poland's population is projected to decline from 37.6 million to 33.2 million, a decrease of 4.4 million.
Türkiye and France show two additional trajectories.
Türkiye's population is projected to grow from 85.4 million to 103.9 million by 2050, an increase of 18.5 million. France is projected to change relatively little, from 66.3 million to 67.4 million.
