TERN Geospatial Catalogue
Global Human Vital Rates
Age-specific (per year) numbers of human females, males, mortality and fertility rates. Ages 1-100. Number and mortalities from WHO-CHOICE project (www.who.int/choice) and fertility derived from U.S. Census Bureau International Data Base (www.census.gov/population/international/data/idb).

- Purpose
- The planets large, growing and over-consuming human population is rapidly eroding the Earths natural ecosystems. Societys only real policy lever to reduce the human population humanely is to encourage lower per-capita fertility. But how long will reducing fertility take to reduce the human population size? We used population models to project the global human population to 2100, adjusting fertility and mortality rates to determine possible outcomes for 2100. Even draconian one-child policies imposed worldwide, and drastic mortality events arising from wars or disease, will still result in 5-10 billion people by 2100. Due to this demographic momentum, there are no easy policy levers to change the broad trends of human population size this century.
