High, medium, and low projections of the future human world population. In world demographics, the world population is the total number of humans currently living. It was estimated by the United Nations to have exceeded eight billion in mid-November 2022.
Statistical subregions as defined by the United Nations Statistics Division. This is a list of countries and other inhabited territories of the world by total population, based on estimates published by the United Nations in the 2022 revision of World Population Prospects. It presents population estimates from 1950 to the present.
The overall population of the world is approximately 8 billion as of November 2022. Currently, population growth is fastest among low wealth, least developed countries. The UN projects a world population of 9.15 billion in 2050, a 32.7% increase from 6.89 billion in 2010.
Below is a list of countries and regions of the world with their projected population, as estimated by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, as of July 11, 2022. The Medium variant of the forecast for July 1, 2024, July 1, 2030, July 1, 2050 and July 1, 2100 is given.
The UN's 2022 report projects world population to be 9.7 billion people in 2050, and about 10.3 billion by 2100. The following table shows the largest 14 countries by population as of 2020, 2050 and 2100 to show how the rankings will change between now and the end of this century.
Where updated national data are not available, figures are based on the estimates or projections for 2022 by the Population Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs.
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 projected that it could drop even further to minus 0.1% by 2100.
Population estimates for world regions based on Maddison (2007), in millions. The row showing total world population includes the average growth rate per year over the period separating each column from the preceding one.
Old estimates put the global population at 9 billion by 2037–2046, 14 years after 8 billion, and 10 billion by 2054–2071, 17 years after 9 billion; however these milestones are likely to be reached far sooner.

Under the hood: Internally, the template automatically creates a simple #CITEREF reference anchor which is equivalent to the output of {{harvid|UN WPP| YYYY }}. So for 2022, it's equivalent to {{harvid|UN WPP|2022}} (i.e., citerefun_wpp2022 ).
