To prove this, the United Nations recently developed a report, which gathers data on world population projections.
It states that there will be 11.2 billion people in the world in 2100. In turn, Latin America will increase from the current 634 million to 784 million inhabitants in 2050.
Faced with this information, you must be wondering: how were these numbers obtained? Obviously some variables were taken into account, such as: drinking water supply, access to employment, food security, urban growth, environmental impacts, among other factors.
The fact is that the collection of this information is not only useful to obtain numerical data, but also to help build a more harmonious planet and a more promising future for everyone.
With that in mind, the World Bank has developed a tool that makes it possible to reveal various curiosities: the Population.io, built by a data lab team and contributors from around the world.
Through it, it is possible to identify what is the position of a person in relation to the rest of the population world, estimating how many years she will live and what her life would be like if she had been born elsewhere.
Interesting, isn't it? But the advantages of the tool do not stop there! The system also lets you know how many people in the world have the same birthday as you. The procedure is simple, just provide information such as gender, country and date of birth.
