Believe it or not? New study reveals the world’s population may be larger than we thought.
A new study led by Josias Láng-Ritter. A researcher at Aalto University in Finland, points to a possible underestimation of the world’s population, particularly in rural areas. Where populations are underestimated by 53% to 84% in some areas. The เล่นบาคาร่า UFABET เว็บตรง ค่าคอมสูง study looked at data from 300 rural dam projects in 35 countries. And dam-related migration data provides a more accurate estimate of the population than traditional estimates.
Studies have shown that population estimates in rural areas are often overlooked due to resource constraints and accessibility issues in remote areas. This lack of accurate data in rural areas can have a significant impact on resource allocation and policy decisions.
While some researchers believe the idea that the population could be several billion more than previously estimated is unlikely, the study still raises concerns about the accuracy of our current population data, which affects decision-making across a variety of areas.
This study prompts us to rethink how we collect population data around the world, particularly in hard-to-reach areas, so that decisions about resource allocation are more accurate and equitable for all.
According to the UN, the world currently has a population of 8.2 billion people.
