Fp = sp + b - d + i - o where, National, regional, and global declines in fertility are not projected to translate directly into equivalent declines in the growth of population. Lack of correspondence in fertility and population declines is because the number of women in their child-bearing years are increasing in both absolute terms and relative to the rest of the population. Larger number of women because of past higher fertility levels. By 2050 virtually all the growth of the global population will be due to this effect.
