World Population day
Youth and Population
Today,
the world is home to the largest ever youth population: people under 25 comprise
43% of the world’s population, and roughly 88% of all adolescents live in
developing countries. That is 1.2 billion people—full of potential, energy and
creativity—whose knowledge and experience we have yet to optimise to realise a
better future for all.
Last week, the UN released updated population figures and projections. I just had a chance to go through them and the great key findings document (PDF, 1MB) that accompanies them.
But before I dive in, how accurate are these projections? What kind of track record do UN demographers have? The most comprehensive answer I could find was Nico Keilman’s 2001 paper which Hans Rosling refers to in this video. He notes that in 1958, when the UN projected the population in 2000 to be ~6 Billion (it was then 42 years into the future) they ended up being out by less than 5%. The short answer is: these projections are pretty good.
