    Azerbaijan's Population to exceed 11 Million By 2050


    The population of Azerbaijan will increase to 11.6 million from the
    present figure of over 8 million by 2050, says a report of the
    Washington-based research organization.

    The population will increase in other countries of the Commonwealth
    of Independent States as well. The figure will reach 3.3 million in
    Armenia, 8.3 million in Kyrgyzstan, 10.9 million in Tajikistan, 7.4
    million in Turkmenistan and 38.4 million in Uzbekistan, Population
    Reference Bureau said in a report.

    The population will go down to 33.4 million in the Ukraine, 8.5
    million in Belarus, 3.6 million in Georgia and 3.3 million in
    Moldova. The figure in Kazakhstan is expected to remain unchanged at
    15 million over the next 45 years.

    Among CIS states, Tajikistan is a country with most young people, as
    40% of people are below 15. Ukraine has the most `old' people, as 16%
    are over 65. Children below 15 make up 15% of this country's
    population, the organization's experts say.

    Turkmenistan and Russia are the only countries in CIS with life
    expectancy below 60 among men, as the figures make up 58 and 59
    respectively. The highest figure, 70 years, is observed in
    Azerbaijan, the report said.

    The highest average life expectancy among women in CIS states, 75
    years, is observed in Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus and Georgia. The
    figure is 66 and 67 in Tajikistan and Turkmenistan respectively.

    The Population Reference Bureau experts also estimated that the world
    population grows 80 million every year, with 99% of the growth made
    up by poor countries.

    India will be the most populated country by 2050, with 1.628 billion
    people, compared to 1.437 billion in China. The United States and
    Indonesia will keep their places in the list with the population of
    420 million and 308 million respectively.

    The report also said that the world population will make up 7.95
    billion in 2025 and 9.26 billion in 2050.
