Population growth trends on the global scale have been closely studied with one underlying question in mind: Can we continue to sustain our global population given the current projections for the near and also distant future? There have been countless numbers of reports done projecting the population growth trends, with an extremely wide range of results.

It is generally accepted that an astonishing 95% of population increase in the future will come from currently developing nations. One of the key factors in determining the population levels in the future is the fertility rates of nations, which is very high in developing nations as opposed to developed nations which generally have lower fertility rates.
