World population to boom again
A United Nations report says world population will continue to grow by about 80 million annually into the next decade despite birth control. The share of those over 65 is rising rapidly while the number of people aged 15 to 24 remains over 1 billion, creating a potential demographic bonus for economies that invest in health education and jobs. The report urges policies to boost retirement funding and adapt social supports to aging populations.
