Planet Earth is home to many living beings, the main one of which is man.
How many people inhabit the planet
The world population today is almost seven and a half billion people. The peak value of its growth was noted in 1963. Currently, the governments of some countries are pursuing a restrictive demographic policy, while others are trying to stimulate population growth within their borders. However, the overall population of the Earth is aging. Young people do not strive to reproduce. The population of planet Earth today has an unnatural bias towards the elderly. This feature will complicate the financial support of pensioners.
According to scientists, by the end of the twenty-first century the world's population will reach the eleventh billion.
Where do the most people live?
In 2009, an alarm bell rang. The world's population living in cities has become equal in size to the number of people living in villages and rural areas. The reasons for this movement of labor are simple. The world's population strives for convenience and wealth. Salaries in cities are higher, and life is simpler. This will all change as the world's urban populations become more food insecure. Many will be forced to move again to the provinces, closer to the land.
The world population table is as follows: Fifteen countries are home to nearly five billion people. In total, there are more than two hundred states on our planet.
Most populous countries
The world population can be presented in the form of a table. The most populous countries will be indicated.

Most populous cities
The world population map today already has three cities whose population exceeded twenty million people. Shanghai is one of the largest cities in China, which stands on the Yangtze River. Karachi is a port city in Pakistan. The Chinese capital, Beijing, closes the top three.
In terms of population density, the palm is held by the main city of the Philippines - Manila. The world population map reports that in some areas this figure reaches seventy thousand people per square kilometer! The infrastructure does not cope well with such an influx of residents. For example: in Moscow this figure does not exceed five thousand people per square kilometer.
Also on the list of cities with a very high population density are Indian Mumbai (this locality was previously called Bombay), the capital of France - Paris, the Chinese autonomy of Macau, the dwarf state of Monaco, the heart of Catalonia - Barcelona, as well as Dhaka (Bangladesh), the city-state of Singapore , Tokyo (Japan), and the previously mentioned Shanghai.
Population growth statistics by period
Despite the fact that humanity appeared more than three hundred years ago, for a long time its development was extremely slow. The short life expectancy and extremely difficult conditions took their toll.
Humanity exchanged its first billion only at the beginning of the nineteenth century, in 1820. A little more than a hundred years passed, and in 1927, newspapermen trumpeted the joyful news of the second billion earthlings. Just 33 years later, in 1960, they spoke about the third.
From this period, scientists began to seriously worry about the boom in global population growth. But this did not stop the four billionth inhabitant of the planet from joyfully announcing its appearance in 1974. In 1987, the account reached five billion. The six billionth earthling was born closer to the millennium, at the end of 1999. Less than twelve years have passed since there are a billion more of us. At the current birth rate, no later than the end of the first quarter of this century, the name of the eight billionth person will appear in newspapers.
Such impressive successes have been achieved primarily due to a significant reduction in bloody wars that claim millions of lives. Many dangerous diseases were defeated, medicine learned to significantly prolong people's lives.
Consequences
Until the nineteenth century, people had little interest in the population of the world. The term “demography” was introduced into use only in 1855.
At the moment, the problem is becoming more and more threatening.
In the seventeenth century, it was believed that four billion people could live comfortably on our planet. As real life shows, this figure is significantly underestimated. The current seven and a half billion feel relatively comfortable with a reasonable distribution of resources.
Potential settlement opportunities are possible in Australia, Canada, and desert areas. This will require some efforts for improvement, but theoretically it is possible.
If we take into account exclusively territorial possibilities, then up to one and a half quadrillion people can be settled on the planet! This is a huge number, containing fifteen zeros!
But the use of resources and the rapid heating of the atmosphere will very quickly change the climate so much that the planet will become lifeless.
The maximum number of inhabitants on Earth (with moderate demands) should not exceed twelve billion. This figure is taken from food supply calculations. As the population grows, it is necessary to obtain more resources. To do this, it is necessary to use more areas for sowing, increase the number of livestock, and save water resources.
But if food problems can be solved relatively quickly, thanks to genetic technologies, then organizing the consumption of clean drinking water is a much more complex and costly undertaking.
In addition, humanity must move to the use of renewable energy sources - wind, sun, earth and water energy.
Forecasts
Chinese authorities have been trying to solve the problem of overpopulation for decades. For a long time, there was a program that allowed no more than one child per family. In addition, a powerful information campaign was carried out among the population.
Today we can say that the Chinese have succeeded. Population growth has stabilized and is projected to decline. The growth factor in the well-being of Chinese residents played an important role here.
Regarding the poor in India, Indonesia, and Nigeria, the prospects are far from rosy. In just thirty years, China may lose the “palm” in the demographic issue. India's population could exceed one and a half billion people by 2050!
Population growth will only worsen the economic problems of poor countries.
Current programs
For a long time, people were forced to have a large number of children. Running a household required enormous strength, and it was impossible to cope alone.
A guaranteed pension could help solve the problem of overpopulation.
Also possible ways to solve the demographic issue are thoughtful social policy and reasonable family planning, as well as increasing the economic and social status of the fair half of humanity, and increasing the level of education in general.
Conclusion
It is very important to love yourself and your loved ones. But we should not forget that the planet on which we live is our common home, which must be treated with respect.
Today it is worth moderating your needs and thinking about planning so that our descendants can live as comfortably on the planet as we do ourselves.
Counting earthlings is not done out of simple curiosity. For a normal life, each of us needs a certain amount of water, air, and food. In turn, each of the inhabitants of the Earth influences the environment. Therefore, it is very important to know how many people live on our planet.
How are earthlings counted?
In order to find out how many people live on Earth, you need to identify their number in individual countries and regions of the planet. In most countries, population is determined using general population censuses. They are carried out regularly once every 5 or 10 years. But in some countries and areas of the world, censuses have either not been conducted at all or have been conducted for a very long time. Therefore, the total number is determined using special calculations.
How many people are there now?
There are currently just under 7.4 billion people living on Earth. For many millennia, the number of people on Earth was small and did not increase very quickly. But since the 19th century. rapid population growth began, which continues to this day.
What influences the growth of human numbers?
The growth in the number of people depends on many reasons. This includes the level of development of the country, the well-being of people, and national traditions. Until now, the reasons for changes in the number of people on the planet remain hunger, disease and war, as well as natural disasters.
The change in population is determined by the ratio and mortality. Currently, 21 people are born and 18 die every second in the world. As a result, the population increases by 250 thousand people every day. But in different periods of human history and in different regions of the Earth, the value is not the same.
The average age of the inhabitants of these countries also depends on the state of fertility and mortality in different countries. Countries with high population growth have many children and young people. Countries with low growth have a high proportion of older people.
The world population is the total number of people living on Earth and continuously renewing their numbers through the process of reproduction. Today the planet is inhabited by more than seven billion people.
According to calculations by a statistician from the Netherlands (Center for Informatics and Mathematics), Peter Grunwald, over the course of the entire history of human development, equal to more than 162 thousand years, more than one hundred and seven and a half billion people were born on Earth. Based on his calculations, it can be assumed that approximately 6% of all people living on the planet before our time are equal to 6.7 billion people living today (2008 data). Grunwald also admits that one cannot be completely sure of the 107.5 billion people born throughout time on Earth, since practically nothing is known about the size of the population and the percentage of birth rates in ancient times. At the same time, the researcher considers it incorrect that some scientists claim that there are currently more people living on Earth than during the entire period of formation of human history.
Based on estimates of the earth's agro-natural potential, the planet is able to feed more than 80 billion people, and within the framework of history, the population could not exceed 100 million people. Before the Neolithic Revolution occurred, the Earth could not support more than 3 million people. The UN has set an approximate population limit of 8 billion, at which point the population of each country will begin to promote the maximum possible birth control, as well as fertility equal to two births per healthy woman.
Demographic forecasts
The most accurate forecast regarding the population size was made by D. Huxley, a biologist from England. Based on his calculations, in 1964 he made a conclusion that the planet's population would reach 6 billion by the year 2000. The UN Foundation announced that by 1999 the number of people living on Earth had reached 6 billion, and in 2011 - seven billion. The UN predicts a significant population decline from 2015 to 2050 for the following countries: Russia, Germany, China, Poland, Romania, Thailand, Ukraine, Serbia, Japan, as well as for the countries of Western, Southeast and East Asia.
General growth trend
The works of many scientists (H. Förster, A.V. Korotaev, S.P. Kapitsa, M. Kremer) say that the increase in the earth's population over the past six thousand years followed the law of hyperbole, that is, the entire increase in human numbers was equal proportional to its square. But, judging by the historical chronicle, the population of the planet throughout its history not only increased sharply, but also became smaller, which was facilitated by destructive wars, long-term conflicts, the latest developments in technology and their development. For example, the population of the Middle East has grown at a slow pace over the past 4,000 years (ten times slower than the rest of the planet).
By the beginning of the 60s, the main rate of increase in human numbers began to gradually slow down, and in its place another type of population increase, logistical, appeared. The rate of natural increase in the number of people populating the world has begun to decline since 1989, which is a consequence of a sharp jump in demographics.
Dynamics of population growth of the entire globe in billions of people from 1000 to 2000 AD
At the beginning of our era, there were already 300 million people living on the planet, by the end of the first millennium - 400 million, 500 million - 1500, one billion - 1820, 1.6 billion - 1900, three billion - 1960, 5.65 billion - 1993 . At the end of October 1999, the number of people inhabiting the globe reached 6 billion people, 6.3 in 2003, 6.5 in 2006, 6.8 in 2010, at the beginning of November 2011 - 7 billion. In 2015, the world population should be more than 7 billion people.
According to the UN forecast, the planet's population will be 8.1 billion people by 2025, 9 billion by 2050, and 10 billion by 2100.
Until the seventies, the number of people inhabiting the Earth grew, according to the law of hyperbole; today the growth rate has noticeably decreased. According to demographic studies, the population is still growing rapidly, despite the fact that its growth has already become half as much as in 1963 (at which time the peak growth rate was reached).
Over the past 11 years (from 1994 to 2015), the number of elderly people has doubled, and throughout the world there are significantly more of them than children under 5 years of age (according to the latest data provided by the UN).
For the first time, during the formation of all human history, the number of people living within the city was equal to the number living in villages and villages, which amounted to 3.4 billion. It is also predicted that the largest part of the population living on the globe will be city dwellers, which is confirmed, judging by the latest data.
By 2050, more of the world's population will live in Asia, ¼ in Africa, 8.2% in Latin America, 7.4% in Europe, 4.7% in North America.
The largest country in terms of population is China, but, based on UN forecasts, India will also reach overpopulation by 2025. Until the beginning of 1991, the USSR occupied third place in terms of population; after it collapsed, this place was taken by the USA (at the end of 2006, the population was equal to 300 million people), Indonesia occupied fourth place, Brazil occupied fifth place, and Brazil occupied sixth place. Pakistan, seventh - Bangladesh, eighth - Nigeria, ninth - Russia.
According to CIA estimates, in mid-summer 2013 the number of people inhabiting the planet was 7,095,217,980.
Population of planet Earth in 2015
At the beginning of 2014, the UN commission made a statement saying that the world's population had reached 7.2 billion people, and in 2015 the world's population is planned to be about 7.3 - 7.4 billion people.

Today, more than 7.5 billion people live on Earth, while 2.7 billion are citizens of just two countries - India and China. The demographic picture of the world is much more interesting than just dry numbers reflecting the size of the population. It includes information about the national composition, age structure, migration processes, and age parameters of the inhabitants of our planet.
More recently, at the beginning of the 20th century, the planet's population was about 1.6 billion people. Just 60 years later, the world celebrated the birth of the Earth's 3 billionth inhabitant. And starting from the mid-1960s, world leaders became seriously concerned about the problem of overpopulation, the world's population began to grow so quickly. According to experts, the number of people on the planet will exceed 11 billion by the end of the 21st century.
African children But population growth is not observed in all parts of the planet. Over the past 20-30 years, regions with rapidly increasing rates include countries in Southeast Asia and Africa, such as India, China, Indonesia, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Egypt, Congo, Thailand, and the Philippines. Slightly less, but also stable growth is observed in the American countries: Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina.
This is what most trains in India look like
Despite the fact that India's population is currently smaller than China's (1.348 billion Indians and 1,412 Chinese), scientists predict that by 2020 India will rank first in the world in this indicator. This is partly due to the fact that China has had birth control measures in place for a long time. But today, due to a sharp decline in the share of children and youth in Chinese society, the country's leadership has decided to lift these bans.
China But the indigenous population of Europe, on the contrary, is rapidly decreasing, which is associated with the demographic aging of the population. This process leads to an increase in the proportion of older people compared to children and youth. This problem is familiar to most developed countries of the world. In addition to Europe, a similar process is observed in Australia, Canada, the USA and Japan. This situation is partly smoothed out by the stable number of labor migrants arriving in developed countries of the world. Unfortunately, Russia is no exception, and our country also has a large number of elderly people compared to the working population.
In Japan, older people are very active At the initiative of American researchers, an information project was created called Worldometers, which collects demographic and some other parameters for different countries of the world. Of course, the data displayed here is often derived from modeling and forecasting, but either way it's very interesting. We offer you to see how quickly the world's population is growing in real time.
