Models of the World human population growth- critical analysis

TL;DR

This paper critically examines mathematical models of global human population growth, comparing them to real data, and explores the idea that demographic transition may be a phase transition impacting all aspects of society.

Contribution

It offers a novel perspective by proposing that demographic transition is a phase transition rather than a simple dynamic crossover.

Findings

Mathematical models are compared with actual population data.

The concept of demographic transition as a phase transition is introduced.

Implications for understanding global population dynamics are discussed.

Abstract

We analyze mathematical models of the global human population growth and compare them to actual dynamics of the world population and of the world surplus product. We consider a possibility that the so-called world's demographic transition is not a dynamic crossover but a phase transition that affects all aspects of our life.
