What Is Already Known About This Topic?:
The global population is predicted to reach 8 billion by the end of 2022, which can delay the progress and exacerbate the challenges of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially the goal of "Zero Hunger."
What Is Added By This Report?:
During the next 15 years, it is predicted that the world's population will increase from 8 billion to 9 billion people. Although food insecurity is anticipated to decrease over the next three decades for most of the world, food insecurity is anticipated to increase in Africa. Accelerating population growth is projected to lead to larger percentages of infants with low birth weight and of children under 5 years old with stunted growth.
What Are The Implications For Public Health Practice?:
Rapid population growth will make it more difficult to achieve the SDGs for ending hunger and ensuring good health and well-being. It is important to develop foresight and adopt proactive planning that is guided by careful demographic analysis.
