The world will most likely hit peak population in 2084, after which global population will begin to decline. However, other regions are likely to hit their peaks sooner.

• Europe’s peak is already in the past: 2020.
• Latin America and Asia will hit their peaks in the 2050s
• Meanwhile, Africa, Northern America, and Oceania will keep growing slowly past 2100.

While Africa’s birth rates will continue to sustain population growth, the latter two regions will benefit from international migration.
