The world has grown significantly since 1960. The chart below illustrates the world's population history and future projections with a breakdown by region.

1960: The global population was approximately 3 billion.
1974: It reached 4 billion, just 14 years later.
1987: It took another 13 years to add the next billion, bringing the total to 5 billion.
1999: The global population reached 6 billion, adding another 1B in 12 years.
2011: 7 billion — 12 years again.
2022: On November 15, the world's population reached 8 billion people.
The UN's World Population Prospects forecasts that the world will reach 9B in 2038, 10B in 2062, and 10.2B in 2100.

World population map

This map illustrates population distribution by country across the globe. Each country is color-coded to represent its percentile position.

Population

Regional population statistics

Asia is the most populous region in the world, with over 4.83 billion people or over 58.4% of the world's population.

Africa is the second most populous region, with over 1.55 billion people. But Africa is the youngest and the fastest growing, with a median age of just 20.6 years old and annual growth of 2.33%.

Europe is third with 742M habitats and by far the oldest and slowest growing, on the edge of decline. The table below summarises the world's population data with a breakdown by region.
