Example: In the Rio+20 study ([[PBL, 2012]]), global population is based on the UN medium projection and grows to about 9 billion people in 2050, the increase occurring mostly in developing countries (the figure below). The economic projection of the Rio+20 study shows that developing countries increasingly dominate the world economy in terms of total GDP (the figure below). For the OECD countries, the baseline scenario assumes a long-term economic growth rate of 1 to 2% per year over the whole scenario period. In the short term, per capita growth rates in Asia and Latin America are much higher, but converge gradually to a long-term growth rate of around 2% per year. In contrast, Africa shows a later peak in economic growth.
