Increase: 220%
With 50.000 members, the Muslim community was fourth largest in New Zealand in 2010, after Christians, Unaffiliated, and Hindus. In the next thirty years, the country’s religious landscape will see some changes. People without religion will outnumber Christians and become a religious majority. The Hindus population will also grow, but Muslim group will record the greatest increase. In 2050, there will be 160.000 Islam followers, which is 220% rise. Muslims will also be the youngest among religious groups (median age 28), and they will have the highest fertility rate. And now, let’s see what else we have in our list of countries where Muslim population will increase the most by 2050.
