In this global studies lesson, students analyze UN population projections to see how small changes in fertility rates impact future population size. They then take part in a visual population growth model from 1800 to 2100 to identify regional trends in historic and projected growth. Finally, students explore population stabilization challenges in high-growth areas and research organizations implementing effective solutions.
