Abstract
The authors have performed a meta-analysis on the basis of 69 past studies that have assessed a limit to the world population and have used the findings to propose a number of meta-estimates of limits to world population. An important conclusion of this study is that recent predictions of stabilized world population levels for 2050 exceed several of our meta-estimates of a world population limit.
