In 1969 we worried that the world's population would continue to grow until the planet became uninhabitable. Since then the world population has more than doubled.
Today scientists say that the worldwide birthrate of children per mother has fallen from 5 children each to 2.5 children each since 1960. The drop is attributed to education. Scientists say that sometime around 2100, our population should peak at about 11 million and level out. The predicted world birthrate for 2100 is 1.9 children per mother.
