World population

The world population is the total population of humans on the planet Earth. An automatically updated daily calculation by the United States Census Bureau[1] estimates the current figure to be approximately 6,903,700,000. The world population has experienced continuous growth since the end of the Bubonic Plague around the years 1348-1350-.[2] The highest rates of growth—increases above 1.8% per year—were seen briefly during the 1950s, for a longer period during the 1960s and 1970s; the growth rate peaked at 2.2% in 1963, and declined to 1.1% by 2009. Annual births have reduced to 140 million since their peak at 173 million in the late 1990s, and are expected to remain constant, while deaths number 57 million per year and are expected to increase to 80 million per year by 2040. Current projections show a continued increase of population (but a steady decline in the population growth rate) with the population expected to reach between 7.5 and 10.5 billion in the year 2050.[3][4][5]
