Global Population Growth Rate

The world's population continues to increase, due to a positive population growth rate. Approximately 140 million babies are born every year, while around 70 million people pass away in the same timeframe. By the year 2030, the global population is projected to reach 8.5 billion people according to the latest data from the United Nations. The population growth rate will remain positive until the year 2087 When the growth rate for the year will be -0.029% and the overall population will decline by -3015.955 people. This will be the first time in centuries that the world has seen a population decline.

Historic Global Population Growth Rate (1950-2025)

Between 1950 and 2025, the global population growth rate decreased from 1.738% to 0.841%. While the population growth rate still remains positive, we can see that it is trending downwards.

Understanding Population Growth Rate: How Births, Deaths, and Migration Impact Population Size

Population growth rate is defined as the annual average rate of change of population size, for a given country, territory, or geographic area, during a specified period. It is considered an international standard for measuring population change. The United Nations uses population growth rate as one of the key indicators for measuring population trends, and for forecasting future population size. Part of that data is used on this page to visualize and explore historic and future population growth rate over time.

What is Population Growth Rate?

Population growth rate is a measure of how quickly a population is increasing or decreasing in size over time. It is expressed as a percentage of change over a time period. Most commonly, its typically messured on a yearly basis, allowing you to evaluate percentage on year over year basis. However, population growth rate can be applied and calculated on any timeframe.

  • Population growth rate is used to indicate population increase or decrease in size over time.
  • It is measured as a percentage of change, from previous to current population size.
  • It is often expressed as a yearly rate, but can be applied to any timeframe.
  • A positive population growth rate indicates that a population is increasing.
  • A negative population growth rate indicates that a population is decreasing.
  • Birth rate, death rate, and migration affect the population growth rate.
  • A high birth rate and low death rate will result in a high population growth rate.
  • A low birth rate and high death rate will result in a low population growth rate.
  • Net migration also affect the population growth rate.
  • Population growth rate is an important metric for demographic, environmental and economic forecasting.

How is Population Growth Rate calculated?

The population growth rate indicates the increase or decrease of a population in percent (%). The formula to calculate population growth rate can be used on any timeframe. In this case it indicates the population growth reate year over year, where a negative population growth rate is presented with red coloring and positive with green. The population growth rate of is based on the de facto definition of population, which counts all residents regardless of legal status or citizenship.

Population Growth Rate Formula

Population Growth Rate = New Population - Original Population / Original Population * 100
