1996 Population Projections
The 1996 world population projection uses expert-based assumptions for the future development of fertility, mortality, life expectancy and migration. For the projection, the globe was divided into 13 major world regions. By doing so, much of the world heterogeneity is taken into account, and we need not bother with national particularities, especially with respect to migration.
The crucial difference with respect to existing global population projections lies in the specification, justification, and combination of alternative scenario assumptions and in the definition of the first probabilistic world population projections.
More detailed information on the assumptions, summaries of results and a description of the methodology, as well as data sets, provided by the World Population Program.
We reproduce here the complete set of results of the population projections carried out in 1996 and presented in
