The earth's population has crossed the 6.5 billion mark, and the world has new people every second.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau's Center for International Programs**, the Earth's population will exceed the 6.5 billion mark at 7:16 p.m. ET on Feb. 25 (8:16 a.m. Beijing time on Feb. 26).
Of course, this is only the result of theoretical estimates. It is possible that a week or a year ago, the Earth welcomed its 6.5 billion members; Or maybe a month from now, the 6.5 billion citizens of the planet will be born somewhere in the world. Regardless, the Earth's population growth trend is an indisputable fact, and it poses an even greater challenge to how the planet can feed so many people.
The agency also expects the global population to reach 7 billion by October 16, 2012 at 4:36 p.m. ET (October 17, 2012 at 5:36 a.m. EDT); The global population will grow to 9 billion by 2050.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, the world's population has shown a first-class growth: the global population has reached 6 billion in June 1999, about four times the global population in 1900 and twice the global population in 1960. It took only 12 years for the world's population to grow from 5 billion to 6 billion, which is faster than any previous multiples of 1 billion people.
The U.S. Census Bureau's "World Population Clock" shows that the global birth rate is much higher than the death rate——— and every second of birth, death; But population growth is unevenly distributed globally——— with 57 percent of new births in Asia, 26 percent in Africa, 9 percent in South America, 5 percent in Europe, 3 percent in North America, and less than 1 percent in Oceania. At present, the five most populous countries in the world are: China (1.3 billion), India (1.1 billion), the United States (100 million), Indonesia (100 million) and Brazil (100 million).
Population growth rates are linked to birth, death, living standards, health care and economic development, but over the past 50 years, there has been another phenomenon that cannot be ignored: population growth has been fastest in the regions least able to afford the new population. For example, in most parts of Africa and Latin America, women have an average of 6 or 7 children.
The average American woman has two children, which is just enough to meet the zero population growth, but the number of births among immigrants in the United States continues to be high. In Europe, where women are generally more developed, the average number of births per woman is only one, and some countries have experienced negative population growth.
What worries experts is not the appearance of regional differences in population growth, but the disparities in living standards, health benefits and economic prospects that are behind this trend. "Neither scenario (too much or too little) is not conducive to long-term sustainability. Thomas Batner, head of estimates and ** at the United Nations Population Agency, said.

Hello, the United Nations Population** shows that the global population reached 7 billion on October 31, 2011 and 7.1 billion in 2014. In 2016, the world's population reached 7,262,306,342 (7,262,310 people). As of January 2021, the total global population is 7,585,204,179.
Growth: Population issues are attracting increasing attention from the international community. Since 1954, the United Nations has convened several world population conferences.
More than 15,000 delegates from 182 countries and territories participated in the Third International Conference on Population and Development, held in Cairo from 5 to 13 September 1994. For the first time, the Conference linked population issues to sustainable development. The Conference concluded with the adoption of the Programme of Action, which calls on all countries to strengthen cooperation in the field of population and development to address the common problems facing humanity.
The United Nations convened a special session on population and development from 30 June to 2 July 1999 to reaffirm the importance of solving population problems from the strategic perspective of population and economic, social, resource, environment and sustainable development.

There are currently 11 countries in the world with a population of more than 100 million. Among them, the Chinese population is the largest, reaching 100 million, followed by India, which has a population of 100 million. Other countries with populations of more than 100 million are the United States, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Russia, Japan and Mexico.
By 2050, four African countries – the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Egypt, Ethiopia and Tanzania – and the Philippines and Vietnam in Asia – will also have more than 100 million people. By then, India's population will increase to 100 million, making it the world's most populous country. The Chinese population will increase to 100 million, taking a back seat.
At present, the total population of the world is 100 million, of which only 100 million live in more developed regions.
