Africa population prospects.
Carl Haub, author of the Population Research Bureau's newly released World Population Data Sheet, estimates that "Middle Africa is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the first half of the 21st century, growing to 193 percent of its current size by 2050; western Africa follows, increasing to 142 percent of its 2003 population. The population of HIV/AIDS-ravaged southern Africa is projected to fall by 22 percent, a decline that no one would have predicted in the recent past."
