The population growth rate estimates (according to the United Nations Population Prospects 2019) between 2015 and 2020 [1] This article includes a table of countries and subnational areas by annual population growth rate.
Thus, the figures after the 1960 column show the percentage annual growth for the 1955-60 period; the figures after the 1980 column calculate the same value for 1975–80; and so on. The formulas used for the annual growth rates are the standard ones, used both by the United Nations Statistics Division and by National Census Offices worldwide.
The estimates also mark a stark contrast to the record low growth rate of 0.2% in 2021, a time when countries were restricting travel because of COVID-19, the U.S. Census Bureau said.
The UN Population Division report of 2022 projects world population to continue growing after 2050, although at a steadily decreasing rate, to peak at 10.4 billion in 2086, and then to start a slow decline to about 10.3 billion in 2100 with a growth rate at that time of -0.1%.
(2011) World population growth rates between 1950 and 2050. The world population growth rate peaked in 1963 at 2.2% per year and subsequently declined. [11] In 2017, the estimated annual growth rate was 1.1%. [30] The CIA World Factbook gives the world annual birthrate, mortality rate, and growth rate as 1.86%, 0.78%, and 1.08% respectively. [31]
The current world population growth is approximately 1.09%. [7] People under 15 years of age made up over a quarter of the world population (25.18%), and people age 65 and over made up nearly ten percent (9.69%) in 2021. [7] The world population more than tripled during the 20th century from about 1.65 billion in 1900 to 5.97 billion in 1999.
The highest global population growth rates, with increases of over 1.8% per year, occurred between 1955 and 1975, peaking at 2.1% between 1965 and 1970. [3] The growth rate declined to 1.1% between 2015 and 2020 and is projected to decline further in the 21st century. [4]
