- The greatest percentage of population growth is expected to occur in Sub-Saharan Africa. According to United Nations estimates, Sub-Saharan Africa is projected to experience a significant increase in population size by the end of the 21st century.
- The region's high fertility rates, a large number of women of reproductive age, and improving mortality rates contribute to this rapid population growth. Many other regions, such as Asia and Latin America, are seeing a slowdown in population growth due to decreasing fertility rates.
