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.
Population growth is the increase in the number of people in a population or dispersed group. Actual global human population growth amounts to around 83 million annually, or 1.1% per year. [ 2] The global population has grown from 1 billion in 1800 to 8.1 billion in 2024. [ 3] The UN projected population to keep growing, and estimates have put ...
The 2022 projections from the United Nations Population Division (chart #1) show that annual world population growth peaked at 2.3% per year in 1963, has since dropped to 0.9% in 2023, equivalent to about 74 million people each year, and could drop even further to minus 0.1% or rise to between 1 to 2.5% or higher by 2100.

This is similar to nominal GDP per capita but adjusted for the cost of living in each country. In 2019, the estimated average GDP per capita (PPP) of all of the countries of the world was Int$ 18,381. [a] For rankings regarding wealth, see list of countries by wealth per adult.
On the whole, PPP per capita figures are more narrowly spread than nominal GDP per capita figures. Non-sovereign entities (the world, continents, and some dependent territories ) and states with limited international recognition are included in the list in cases in which they appear in the sources.
On the whole, PPP per capita figures are less spread than nominal GDP per capita figures. [5] The rankings of national economies over time have changed considerably; the United States surpassed the British Empire's output around 1916, [6] which in turn had surpassed the Qing dynasty in aggregate output decades earlier.
This is a list of countries and dependencies ranked by population density, sorted by inhabitants per square kilometre or square mile. The list includes sovereign states and self-governing dependent territories based upon the ISO standard ISO 3166-1. The list also includes unrecognized but de facto independent countries.
The IMF estimated nominal 2021 gross world product at US$94.94 trillion, giving an annual global per capita figure of around US$12,290. [78] Around 9.3% of the world population live in extreme poverty, subsisting on less than US$1.9 per day; [79] around 8.9% are malnourished. [80] 87% of the world's over-15s are considered literate.
