The rise in excess mortality and the slight dip in fertility during the COVID-19 pandemic saw annual global population growth fall below one percent for the first time in decades. While many demographic metrics returned to their pre-pandemic trajectories by 2023, it is believed that annual population growth will remain below one percent in the coming years, with the global population expected to go into decline in the 2080s.
