Hey magdaflynn! This is a super important question, and one lots of people get wrong. There is a current model that predicts the global population and how it will trend. We are at just over 7 billion people now in the world. As sad as it is what is happening in Syria, this won’t make much difference to the global population (as well as other conflicts). The global population is expected to keep rising, to roughly just over 10 billion… BUT THEN it will slow down and level out, and start to drop again! This takes into account variability (things going faster or slower than expected), but looks like it will happen eventually.
Within the next ten years though, we can expect the population to keep heading up towards that 10 billion mark. That’s a LOT of people!
Magda, your question just reminded me of Dan Browns Inferno?! It is a cool thriller that really looks into this growing population concern.
Sam is totally right, the war in Syria or anywhere else for that matter at the moment won’t make a huge impact on the world population.
But honestly it makes a huge impact on man kind and our concise! Far out! War rubs me the wrong way!!!! I come from a war torn country. In 1992 a war broke out in Bosnia. It was a war totally based on ethnic cleansing! In one small town called Srebrenica over 8,000 people were massacred, primarily men and boys. The idea was that if we wipe out the men, the women can’t reproduce. Why? Because we don’t like Bosnian people!!! I wish I could swear right now! Can’t!!!! I’m a good girl! In this area and in Bosnia the population was decreased very drastically, but you know 20 years after the war, the population of Bosnians in the world is now greater then what it was before the war in 1992!! HA! 😀
See what Sam is saying? No major impact on population number but it war does leave a never healing scar in the hearts of the people…..

Check this out, particularly the first two graphs. They show that the rate of population growth is slowing more and more! https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/
