premise: The worlds population is growing by about 70 million people a year but the increase is uneven, with some nations populations growing rapidly and others decreasing. Among the industrialized nations, only the United States will experience significant growth by 2050, while Europe is expected to have 60 million fewer people than today. Britain is predicted to grow faster than any other European industrialized country, reaching a population of 65 million in the next 25 years. By then it will have overtaken France to become Europes second most populous country.
hypothesis: Britain is not expected to experience significant population growth by 2050.
