The report did not publish figures in the entire world population of other major religions. In the near future, Pew will release the growth prospects for other major religions around the world.
| "The growth rate is declining due to declining fertility rates, especially in countries with many different predominantly Muslim," the report said. One of the triggers, is because more and better women's education levels and rising socio-economic life of its citizens. "Globally, the Muslim population is estimated to grow at about twice the number of non-Muslim population during the next two decades - an annual growth rate average 1.5 percent for Muslims, compared with 0.7 percent for non-Muslims," the report said . The report titled The Future of the Global Muslim Population is part of the Pew Forum for analyzing changes in religion and its impact on societies around the world. |
The report said about 60 percent of the Muslim world will live in the Asia-Pacific in 2030, 20 percent in the Middle East, 17.6 per cent in sub-Saharan Africa, 2.7 percent in Europe and 0.5 percent in the United States.
