title: [Critical levels in the numerical growth of the world's population].
abstract: A critical level of the world human population growth, at which there will be a change in the growth tendency, was estimated on the basis of the available data on the world human population growth and the theory of critical levels in development (Zhirmunskiĭ and Kuz'min, 1990). The critical value (N1) estimated from the world population 7,400,000,000 will be reached in 2003. However, when estimated on the basis of total biomass of human population (N2, seem less accurate), it will be reached in 2008, when the total numbers attain 9,100,000,000.
