Population in the world is growing at a rate of around\u00a00.84%\u00a0per year in\u00a02026\u00a0(down from\u00a00.85%\u00a0in\u00a02025, and\u00a00.97%\u00a0in\u00a02020). The current population increase is estimated at around\u00a069 million people per year.
Annual growth rate reached its peak in the mid 1960s, when it was at around 2%. The rate of increase has nearly halved since then, and will continue to decline in the coming years.
World population will therefore continue to grow in the 21st century, but at a\u00a0much slower rate compared to the recent past. World population has doubled (100% increase) in 40 years from 1959 (3 billion) to 1999 (6 billion). It is now estimated that it will increase by 50% in the subsequent 40 years, to reach 9 billion by 2037.
The latest\u00a0world population projections<\/a>\u00a0indicate that world population will reach 10 billion persons in the year 2060 and 10.2 billion in 2100.<\/mark>

On 15 November 2022, the world\u2019s population reached 8 billion people, a milestone in human development. While it took the global population 12 years to grow from 7 to 8 billion, it will take approximately 15 years\u2014until 2037\u2014 for it to reach 9 billion, a sign that the overall growth rate of the global population is slowing. Yet levels of fertility remain high in some countries. Countries with the highest fertility levels tend to be those with the lowest income per capita. Global population growth has therefore over time become increasingly concentrated among the world\u2019s poorest countries, most of which are in sub-Saharan Africa.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
