Graph of world population over the past 12,000 years . As a general rule, the confidence of estimates on historical world population decreases for the more distant past. Robust population data exist only for the last two or three centuries. Until the late 18th century, few governments had ever performed an accurate census.
English: World population chart, from 1800 to 2100 — showing both estimates and actual population counts. World population estimates from 1800 to 2100, based on: United Nations projections (in 2010) — "high" (colored red), "medium" (orange), and "low" (green) U.S. Census Bureau (historical estimates) — (colored black).

The table below shows annual population growth rate history and projections for various areas, countries, regions and sub-regions from various sources for various time periods. The right-most column shows a projection for the time period shown using the medium fertility variant. Preceding columns show actual history.
English: :Absolute increase in global population per year Absolute population change measures the net increase in total population in any given year e.g. data for 1950 represents the net change in total population from 1950 to 1951. Data projections to 2100 are based on the UN Population Division's 'medium variant' projection.

In just one hundred years, the population of Brazil decupled (x10), from about 17 million in 1900, or about 1% of the world population in that year, to about 176 million in 2000, or almost 3% of the global population in the very early 21st century. Mexico's population grew from 13.6 million in 1900 to about 112 million in 2010.
[3] [4] Old estimates put the global population at 9 billion by 2037–2046, 14 years after 8 billion, and 10 billion by 2032–2052, 18 years after 9 billion; however these milestones are likely to be reached far sooner.
This is the list of countries and other inhabited territories of the world by total population, based on estimates published by the United Nations in the 2024 revision of World Population Prospects. It presents population estimates from 1950 to the present.
