原文:
The global human population has been climbing for the past two centuries. But what is normal for all of us alive today — growing up while the world is growing rapidly — may be a blip in human history.
Children born today will very likely live to see the end of global population growth.
A baby born this year will be 60 in the 2080s, when demographers at the U.N. expect the size of humanity to peak. The Wittgenstein Center for Demography and Global Human Capital in Vienna places the peak in the 2070s. The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington puts it in the 2060s. All of the predictions agree on one thing: We peak soon.
译文:
全球人口在过去两百年中一直在增长。但对如今所有活着的人来说,世界快速增长的同时,人口也在增长,这是正常的。而这在人类历史上或许是暂时的。
今天出生的孩子很可能会活着看到全球人口停止增长的那天。
今年出生的婴儿将在2080年代达到60岁,联合国的人口统计学家预计,届时全球人口将达到峰值。位于维也纳的维特根斯坦人口和全球人力资本研究中心将人口峰值定在本世纪70年代。华盛顿大学的健康指标与评估研究所则将该峰值定在60年代。所有的预测在一件事上是一致的:全球人口很快将达峰。
