In a new report titled "The 2024 Revision of World Population Prospects", UN experts predict that Ukraine's population could decrease to 15.3 million by 2100. This significant reduction is attributed to a combination of factors, including low birth rates, the ongoing war with Russia, high levels of emigration, and other demographic trends.

The UN experts also forecast that the global population will reach its peak of 10.3 billion in 2084. Afterward, a gradual decline is expected, with the world population estimated to be around 10.2 billion by 2100.

This trend is driven by changing demographic patterns in various regions, including Europe and Asia, where aging populations and low birth rates will significantly impact population numbers.

Despite the population decline, the UN anticipates that the average life expectancy worldwide will gradually increase. By the end of the 21st century, it is expected to reach 81.7 years, owing to improvements in healthcare, technological advancements, and higher living standards across different parts of the world.

Previously, the UOJ reported that the average life expectancy in Ukraine has decreased.
