World population in 2022

World Population Prospects 2022 is the twenty-seventh edition of the official United Nations population estimates and projections. It presents population estimates from 1950 to the present for 237 countries or areas, underpinned by analyses of historical demographic trends. This latest assessment considers the results of 1,758 national population censuses conducted between 1950 and 2022, as well as information from vital registration systems and from 2,890 nationally representative sample surveys. The 2022 revision also presents population projections to the year 2100 that reflect a range of plausible outcomes at the global, regional and national levels. For the first time, the estimates and projections are presented in one-year intervals of age and time instead of the five-year intervals used previously. • SG's remarks on the occasion of World Population Day [ • • • • • • • DESA Voice: • • • • • Press release [ • Press briefing: • • • • Launch Events: • Joint launch of World and China Population Prospects 2022: • • Remarks by Mr. John Wilmoth, Director of the Population Division, UN DESA [ • • • International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS), Mumbai, India [ • Partners: • Institut national d'études démographiques (INED) [ • • Articles • Related link •

It was another 123 years before it reached two billion in 1927, but it took only 33 years to reach three billion in 1960. According to the UN, the global population reached eight billion in November 2022, There is no estimation for the exact day or month the world's population surpassed one or two billion. The points at which it reached three and four billion were not officially noted, but the International Database of the United...

July 11, 2022 How many people are there in the world? How many die each year, and how many babies are born? These are key questions that we need to understand the world around us. The global population dataset is one of our most important at Our World in Data: it underpins nearly every topic we cover. The UN updates its In this article, we highlight some key findings of the twenty-seventh publication of the ‘World Population Prospects.’ With early access to this new UN data, we have also published a new Population and Demography Data Explorer. You can explore this full dataset in detail for any country worldwide. Since 1975 the world has been adding another billion people It passed its last milestone of 7 billion in 2011. And, by the end of 2022, another one will pass: there will be 8 billion people worldwide. While this absolute growth is similar to previous decades, the growth rate continues to fall. Since 2019, the global population growth rate has fallen below 1%. That’s less than half its peak growth rate – of 2.3% – in the 1960s. As global fertility rates continue to fall (see below), this rate will continue to fall. The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly impacted global population and migration trends. We know that the confirmed death toll from COVID-19 will likely significantly underestimate the true number of deaths because of limited testing. One way to better estimate the pandemic’s total mortality impact is to look at excess mortality data. We ca...

Amid falling growth rates, global population projected to peak around 10.4 billion in the 2080s The global population is projected to reach 8 billion on 15 November 2022, and India is projected to surpass China as the world’s most populous country in 2023, according to World Population Prospects 2022, released today on World Population Day. “This year’s World Population Day falls during a milestone year, when we anticipate the birth of the Earth’s eight billionth inhabitant. This is an occasion to celebrate our diversity, recognize our common humanity, and marvel at advancements in health that have extended lifespans and dramatically reduced maternal and child mortality rates,” said UN Secretary-General António Guterres. “At the same time, it is a reminder of our shared responsibility to care for our planet and a moment to reflect on where we still fall short of our commitments to one another,” he added. The global population is growing at its slowest rate since 1950, having fallen under 1 per cent in 2020. The latest projections by the United Nations suggest that the world’s population could grow to around 8.5 billion in 2030 and 9.7 billion in 2050. It is projected to reach a peak of around 10.4 billion people during the 2080s and to remain at that level until 2100. World Population Prospects 2022 also states that fertility has fallen markedly in recent decades for many countries. Today, two-thirds of the global population lives in a country or area where lifetime fertil...
