Abstract: Abstract The world’s total population increased from 2.5 billion in 1950 to 7.0 billion in 2011. This nearly three-fold increase constitutes the most rapid gain in human numbers in recorded history. Much of this increase has been concentrated in the world’s poorer regions. Between 1950 and 2011, the total population of the developed world rose from 0.8 to 1.2 billion while developing countries grew from 1.7 to 5.8 billion over the same period (United Nations 2010a).
