It might be hard to imagine, but it's true: As of today, if you are 35 years old or younger it is quite probable you will live to the see the year 2100 and witness the beginning of the 22nd century.
Heatwaves will be more frequent and long-lasting, causing droughts, global food shortages, migration, and increased spread of infectious diseases. Moreover, as the polar ice will melt, sea levels will rise substantially, affecting a large number of coastline cities and as many as 275 million of their inhabitants.
In 2022, world population reached 8 billion. The UN's 2022 report projects world population to be 9.7 billion people in 2050, and about 10.3 billion by 2100. The following table shows the largest 17 countries by population as of 2020 and shows how the rankings will change between now and the end of this century.
The majority of Generation Alpha (born between 2010 to 2024) will be alive for the year 2100.
For men, the group expects they will live to be 83 to 86 instead of the government's projection of 80 years average life expectancy in 2050. S. Jay Olshansky, co-author of the report, said a few extra years life might not sound important, but it will cost us socially and financially.
With the extinction of life, 2.8 billion years from now it is expected that Earth's biosignatures will disappear, to be replaced by signatures caused by non-biological processes.
Scientists have found a way to lengthen worms' lives so much, if the process works in humans, we might all soon be living for 500 years. They've discovered a "double mutant" technique, when applied to nematode worms, makes them live five times longer than usual.
More than 2.5 million are born globally every week. When they have all been born (2025) they will number almost 2 billion- the largest generation in the history of the world. Generation Alpha are defined as those born from 2010-2024.
That is why the generations today each span 15 years with Generation Y (Millennials) born from 1980 to 1994; Generation Z from 1995 to 2009 and Generation Alpha from 2010 to 2024. So it follows that Generation Beta will be born from 2025 to 2039.
Driving the news: Young people today are more likely to job-hop, but they are also looking for stability by pursuing careers as CEOs, doctors and engineers, according to a new Axios/Generation Lab study. By the numbers: Gen Z-ers surveyed said their top career goals were businessperson, doctor and engineer.
The data reached an all-time high of 92.980 Year in 2100 and a record low of 75.620 Year in 1986. Australia Life Expectancy at Birth data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by U.S. Census Bureau. The data is categorized under Global Database's Australia – Table AU.US Census Bureau: Demographic Projection.
Based on known risks, the really cataclysmic ones, those that might exterminate us as a species, are fairly rare. Based on what we know today, it would be very unlikely that we wouldn't be around in the year 3000. There certainly would be bad times, but some of us would get through it. That leaves unknown risks.
Using mathematical models, two academics predict generations currently moving into advanced age have a substantial likelihood of pushing the age record back. Without offering up a hard number, the analysis predicts a dramatic increase in longevity in the coming decades means people could live to 120 and beyond.
2100: Either uninhabitable or beginning to repair
Over the coming two decades, extreme weather is set to disrupt society with increasingly severe bushfires, drought and storms. The good news is by the end of the century, living on Earth could actually be more pleasant than it is today.
Since 1880, average global temperatures have increased by about 1 degrees Celsius (1.7° degrees Fahrenheit). Global temperature is projected to warm by about 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7° degrees Fahrenheit) by 2050 and 2-4 degrees Celsius (3.6-7.2 degrees Fahrenheit) by 2100.
The model, called Mindy, provides a terrifying glimpse at what people could look like in 800 years if our love of technology continues. According to the company, humans in the year 3000 could have a hunched back, wide neck, clawed hand from texting and a second set of eyelids.
While there is no scientific process for deciding when a name has stuck, the momentum is clearly behind Gen Z. The name Generation Z is a reference to the fact that it is the second generation after Generation X, continuing the alphabetical sequence from Generation Y (Millennials).
Generation Alpha (Gen Alpha for short) is the demographic cohort succeeding Generation Z. Researchers and popular media use the early 2010s as starting birth years and the early-to-mid 2020s as ending birth years (see Date and age range definitions).
Aged between eight and 23 years old, generation Z or the post-millennial generation will take the lead in a few decades.
The average human born in 1980 can expect to live for 63 years. Gen Alphas born in 2020 have a global average life expectancy of 73 years — 16% longer than their Millennial parents.
The millennial generation includes individuals born between 1981 and 1996. 12 Members of this group are between the ages of 22 and 37 as of 2018. By 2050, they will be between the ages of 54 and 69.
We are in the midst of a generational landmark, as Generation Z (born 1995-2009) begin to enter the workforce and Generation Alpha (born 2010-2024) move through their schooling years. In this infographic, we provide an explanation about each of these generations, and some interesting facts about them.
According to one tradition, Epimenides of Crete (7th, 6th centuries BC) lived nearly 300 years.
