The world's population will rise to 9.7 billion in 2050 from the current level of 7.1 billion and India will overtake China as the world's most populous nation, a French study said on Wednesday.

一項法國研究在星期三表示，2050年世界人口將從現在的71億上升至97億，印度將趕上中國併成爲世界上人口最多的國家。

A bi-annual report by the French Institute of Demographic Studies (Ined) projected there would be 10 to 11 billion people on the planet by the end of the century。

根據法國人口研究機構的一年兩次的報告預計在本世紀末地球的人口將有100億到110億。

The projections ran parallel to forecasts by the United Nations, the World Bank and other prominent national institutes.

此次預測的結論與聯合國、世界銀行等其他國家著名的研究機構所得出的結論一致。

A UN study in June said the global population would swell to 9.6 billion in 2050 and the number of people aged 60 and above would catapult from 841 million now to two billion in 2050 and nearly three billion in 2100.

聯合國一項研究稱全球人口在2050年將膨脹至96億人，超過60歲的人口將從現在的8.41億人激增至20億，到2100年將接近30億。

Ined said Africa would be home to a quarter of the world's population in 2050 with 2.5 billion people, more than double the current level of 1.1 billion.

非洲的人口達到25億並佔全球人口的四分之一，是現在人口11億的兩倍。

Gilles Pison, the author of the report, said the prevailing fertility rate in Africa was around 4.8 children per woman — far higher than the global average of 2.5.

該報告的作者稱，當時非洲生育率大約是每名婦女4.8個孩子，遠高於全球平均水平的2.5個孩子。

The Americas will breach the one-billion mark in 2050 with 1.2 billion inhabitants against 958 million at present.

美洲的人口在2050年將突破10億將達到12億，並與現在的居民人口9.58億形成鮮明的對比。

And Asia's population will increase from 4.3 billion to 5.2 billion in 2050, Ined forecast

預測亞洲的人口在2050年將從現在的43億增加到52億。

The world's most populous nations are currently China with 1.3 billion people; followed by India (1.2 billion); the United States (316.2 million); Indonesia (248.5 million) and Brazil (195.5 million)

世界上人口最多的國家，目前中國有13億人；印度以12億人緊隨其後；美國3.162億人；印度尼西亞2.485億人和巴西1.955億人。

But in 2050, India will take pole position with 1.6 billion people with China in second place at 1.3 billion

但是到2050年，印度的人口將達到頂峯也就是16億人，同時中國以13億人口排在第二名。

Nigeria, Africa's most populous country, will outstrip the United States with a population of 444 million against a projected 400 million Americans in the middle of the century.
