The national 1 July, mid-year population estimates (usually based on past national censuses) supplied in these tables are given in thousands.

[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.

The template may be used as an inline citation, by placing it between ref tags: <ref>{{Cite UN World Population Prospects|2022}}</ref> This creates a footnote marker inline, generating and linking it with the complete citation in the references section in the footer of the article, just as if a complete {{}} template had been used at that point in the body.
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.
