The yellow box is usually cool, but here the estimates are so close, it takes too much trial and error. Pakistan? No. Nigeria? No. Brazil? No. Ethiopia? No.

South Africa already has more than 55 million people and are not on this list. Not too sure about how accurate this list is.

Check the source. I don't expect perfection from Wikipedia, but it's still a pretty solid source.

Generally, Yes, but most of the countries rarely change by a million from now until then

Ummm I don’t see how Iraq and Yemen’s population could over double in 30 years considering they are both war zones

Iraq's population has seen steady growth throughout the last 25 years. The biggest problem in future might be environmental (especially threats to the Tigris and Euphrates rivers which are the lifelines of the country).

If you compare, which countries win and which ones loose population, its very noticable that the richest countries mostly loose population, while poorer countries win population in an alarming rate.

There are some exceptions like the UK and the numbers for China are mostly sinking because of their countermeasures against their exploding population, but over all population growth seems to be inversely proportional to wealth

I disagree with Italy because they have a fertility rate of 1.2 which is far below 2.1. In order to shrink at such a small rate it would need to receive a very large amount of immigration.
