London, Dec. 4 - The population of Iran is projected to rise to 121.4 million by 2050, more than twice the number of people living in Britain.
Within the next 50 years, the number of people living in Iran will overtake the declining populations in Germany, Japan and even Russia, according to figured compiled in the state of world population 2002, published by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Tuesday.
It suggested the current Iranian population of 72.4 m will grow by an average of 1.4 percent annually between 2000 and 2005, above the 1.2 percent world average but below the 1.5 percent growth in less developed countries and 2.5 percent in the least dev eloped countries.
Infant mortality in Iran was quoted at 36 per 1,000 live births, below the world average of 55, while Iran's maternal mortality ratio of 130 was also less than the world average of 400, but there remained a large gap with the performance in developed sta tes.
The report, which focuses on population control as a key to alleviating world poverty, was launched at the United Nations information office in London by UNFPA Executive Director Thoraya Obiad.
