Current Population Vs Projected Population

A. Current population is the amount of people taking up a space at an immediate time, on the other hand projected population is the expected future number of people in a place. Current and projected population growth will become dramatically different in the coming years. The current population of the world right now is about 7 billion, but by 2050 world population is expected to rise to almost 10 billion people! In the region of Europe, out of its 14 countries, they have a combined current population of about 742 million people. However this could change, in europe's case, they are expected to decrease to 709 million people by the year 2050. This is due to developing countries having more people working and less staying home and having kids. In the United States, the current national population is about 320 million, this number is …show more content…
Population will continue to grow not only in the United States, by all around the world, there is nothing thing we can do to stop it, but geographers can use it to help prepare for a better future.

B. Population pyramids show a show a pattern for a country's population growth. Males are measured on the left and women on the right. These Figures are displayed on a bar graph and help geographers understand and predict a country's future population. For example the fictional country of Ducandia, is a very developed country, similar to one in Europe. Geographers can know this by looking at its population pyramid. You can see that population is no longer increasing at a steady pace. Instead some years are dramatically different than others. An explanation for this is that more people
