No. Population growth slows down as nations rise in economic prosperity, and is projected to cap out at around 11 billion.
- cgrealy 5y agoThere's still a pretty reasonable argument to be made that 11 billion is not a sustainable number. I'm not suggesting we start killing people, but we will seriously need to think about how we manage the finite resources of the planet with >1.5x the number of people.
