UN Predicts 9 Bln People by 2300, Many of Them Old
Reuters, Dec. 9, 2003
The human race could have 9 billion people by 2300, Japanese will live to
108, and Africa's population will explode while Europeans could dwindle, the
United Nations predicted.
However, if fertility levels in the developing world remain at today's
levels, the global population would reach 244 billion in 2150 and 134
trillion in 2300."

Here's hoping for a Singularity that isn't delayed by 300 years in a fertile
society.
