now, determined by combining the most up-to-date information provided by the UN with numerous

factors, including current growth rates, migration, fertility, population age, and mortality rates.

Number twenty is Turkey with 94 million, even though will grow by 17 million people, it

falls two spots in the ranking.

19th is Iran, which also drops two spots. It will have over 100 million people. In 2015,

there are only twelve countries with more than 100 million.

Vietnam is currently near capacity and will fall five spots, only adding 12 million people

to its population.

Uganda is this list’s biggest riser, jumping 21 places by nearly tripling its population

to 104 million, from just 34 million in 2015.

Japan’s aging population and low birth rate will see it lose six spots and decrease in

size by 18 million people.

Number 15 is Russia, also down six spots. It’s total will also decline significantly,

it’s aging, but it’s also hemorrhaging people because of a declining economic future.

Egypt will be the 14th most-populated nation on the planet, ticking up a spot by adding

over 37% more people than it has now.

13th is Tanzania, continuing the dominant trend of huge sub-saharan African projected

population gains by leaping 15 spots and increasing its population by 174%.

Congo too will more than double in size, gaining seven spots on this list. Slow development

and a lack of access to birth control are the main reasons why populations in Africa

are booming.

The 11th-ranked country will be Mexico, the same rank it held 35 years earlier by gaining

people at a relatively average rate.

The Philippines will move up two spots to enter the top-ten by adding 56 million human

beings.

Ninth is Ethiopia, more than doubling its residents by adding a staggering 97 million

to its total.

Even though it will add 43 million, Bangladesh will remain the eighth most-populated country

in the world.

And as Brazil becomes an economic powerhouse, it’s boom will slow, dropping two spots

in the rankings. It is the only South American country in the top 20.

Pakistan doesn’t increase in the rankings at all either despite adding more than 80

million people to its total.

Indonesia drops one spot to fifth with a total population of 321 million.

As it continues its high level of development, the United States of America will fall a spot

too, getting bumped out of the top three by

Nigeria, which leaps up four. It will add a society-straining 257 million people.

And the top two countries will swap positions, as China will only be the second-most populated

nation with 1.38 billion people, after significantly slowing the rapid growth it experienced during

the 20th century.

And India takes the top spot, increasing its already larger-than one-billion population

another 26 percent to 1 Billion, 620 million.

Overall the world will add about 2.4 billion people for a total gain of 34% over the next

35 years.

With nearly 9 and a half billion humans to support, our planet will be pushed to its

limit. Of course, many things could change these projections, such as mass-migration

due to climate change, war, or development, but given the way things look now, these are

roughly what the populations of the world’s biggest nations are expected to be in the

near-future.
