Abstract in brief

Human population has grown rapidly since 1950, with four billion people added, and future projections show uneven growth: some regions may see stagnation or decline, while others continue growing quickly.
Significant demographic changes include a sharp decline in women's fertility rates and increases in life expectancy, leading to younger populations in developing countries and older populations in developed nations.
The period from 1950 to 2050 marks the most rapid global demographic shifts, with societies at different stages of their demographic transition, reflecting diverse patterns of population growth, aging, and aging trends.]
