The World’s Population at 8 Billion

 

The eighth billionth person will be born sometime in late 2022, marking a new turning point in human history.

The number of people on earth has doubled, from four to eight billion, in just 48 years. Of course, there are not equally as many people on the earth as there are nations, and they vary greatly in size. The charts in this page are meant to provide context for how the eight billion people are spread out globally.
