An noted internationally demographer, he said its now a good guess" that the UN medium estimate of a 6.5 billion world population by the turn of the century will not be reached. Once population growth rates start to slow down in less developed areas, they will drop more sharply than they did in the industrialized countries. What has taken 50 to 70 years to happen in the U.S. and Europe may require only 20 to 30 years elsewhere.
