Answer
Current UN projections estimate approximately 9.7 billion people will inhabit Earth by 2050, up from about 8 billion in 2024. This projection assumes declining fertility rates in most regions but continued population growth in Africa and parts of Asia. However, predictions vary: some models suggest 8.9 billion to 10.4 billion depending on fertility rates, migration patterns, mortality rates, and unforeseen events (pandemics, climate impacts, technological changes).
