The population of Paraguay has drastically shrunk according to the latest census, with over a million Paraguayans disappearing. This unexpected decline has raised concerns and sparked speculation. In contrast, Africa is experiencing rapid population growth and is projected to have the world's largest workforce by the next decade. By 2050, one in four people on Earth will be African, which will have significant implications for the continent and its global relationships. Additionally, Brazil is facing an aging population, which could impact its economic growth after a decade of lackluster performance. The changing demographics of the world, particularly the rise of Africa, are expected to shape the future.
