This figure was revised to 9.1 billion in 2005 and 9.2 billion in 2007. In 2008, the United States Census Bureau projected a world population of 9.5 billion. Another study done by the European Commission , community research stated that the world population is expected to grow at a decreasing rate to 8.9 billion in 2050 and after 2030, the population in several countries including those in Europe and China will decrease. Stabilization in the population will happen in the second half of the century. It is calculated there will be 601,000 centenarians in the United States by 2050. "The population continues to grow but at a slower pace", summarizes the demographer Thomas Buettner, author of UN report on "World population projections ", presented Thursday , February 24 , 2005. According to this study, 9.075 billion people will inhabit Earth in 2050, against 7 billion today. This increase amounts to adding to the current world population the combined populations of China and India , stresses the population division of the United Nations .
