The World population is projected at 7.79 billion or 7,795 million as of July 1, 2020. There are 3.93 billion males and 3.86 billion females living on earth. The Global population is estimated at 7.71 billion or 7,713 million for year 2019. In 2023, the human population will grow to more than 8 billion. By 2037, this number will exceed 9 billion. In 2057, 10 billion milestone is projected.
In 2020, the world’s population growth rate is 1.05%, half the peak level of 2.09 percent in 1968. That annual growth rate is expected to continue declining, reaching 0.5 percent by mid century and moving close to zero by 2100. In period 1965-1972, global population growth rate was above 2% each year.
The annual increase of world population in 2020 is 81 million, that is 2 million less than the population of the 19th ranked Germany. Annual additions are projected to continue declining by around 1 million every year, reaching 48 million by 2050 and 3 million by 2100. The absolute increase of the population per year has peaked in 1988 with almost 93 million.
More than half the world lives in urban areas. The proportion residing in urban areas has increased from 30% in 1950 to 56 percent in 2020 and is expected to continue rising to nearly 68 percent by 2050.
As of 2020, 25.45 percent of global population are younger than 14 years, 9.33% are older than 65, 65.22 % are working age between 15 and 65 years.
