For the last 50 years, world population multiplied more rapidly than ever before, and more rapidly than it is projected to grow in the future. In 1950, the world had 2.5 billion people; and in 2005, the world had 6.5 billion people. By 2050, this number could rise to more than 9 billion (see chart "World Population Growth, 1950-2050").

U.S. population growth slowed, still envied

Updated 1/27/2011

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/census/2011-01-06-us-population_N.htm

Despite the slowest decade of population growth since the Great Depression, the USA remains the world's fastest-growing industrialized nation and the globe's third-most populous country at a time when some are actually shrinking.

The United States reached 308.7 million in 2010, up 9.7% since 2000 — a slight slowdown that many experts say was caused by the recession and less immigration.

Even so, U.S. growth is the envy of most developed nations.

Latinos Fuel Growth in Decade


http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704604704576220603247344790.html

The Census Bureau—in its first nationwide demographic tally from the 2010 headcount—said Thursday the U.S. Hispanic population surged 43%, rising to 50.5 million in 2010 from 35.3 million in 2000. Latinos now constitute 16% of the nation's total population of 308.7 million.

The Census Bureau has estimated that the non-Hispanic white population would drop to 50.8% of the total population by 2040—then drop to 46.3% by 2050. This demographic transformation—Latinos now account for about one in four people under age 18—holds the potential to shift the political dynamics across the country.

Hispanics will account for 95 percent of the teen population growth in the United States through 2020, according to research from Spanish-language media giant Univision.

U.S. Hispanics represent the 15th largest consumer economy in the world. Bolstered with a postsecondary education, this segment of our population stands to make a vital contribution to the nation's workplace - and its economic health - in 2020.
