    UN says world population to hit 7 billion in 2012

    By EDITH M. LEDERER, Associated Press Writer

    UNITED NATIONS – The world's population will hit 7 billion early in 2012 and top 9 billion in 2050, with the vast majority of the increase coming in the developing countries of Asia and Africa, according to a U.N. estimate released Wednesday.
    Hania Zlotnik, director of the U.N. Population Division, said that "there have been no big changes" from the previous estimate in 2006.
    "We are still projecting that by 2050 the population of the world will be around 9.1 billion," she said at a news conference. "The projections are based on the assumption that fertility that is now around 2.56 children per woman is going to decline to about 2.02 children per woman in the world."

    Whatever it would take to dramatically reduce resource depletion, starvation, CO2 emissions, and the number of unwanted children.

    That number.
