Robust population data exist only for the last two or three centuries Until the late 18th century, few governments had ever performed an accurate census. [4] 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 could drop even further to minus 0.1% by 2100 World population high, medium, and low projections of the future human world population [1] in world demographics, the world population is the total number of humans currently alive The current world population growth is approximately 1.09% [5] people under 15 years of age made up over a quarter of the world population (25.18%), and people age 65 and over made up nearly ten percent (9.69%) in 2021
[5] the world's literacy rate has increased dramatically in the last 40 years, from 66.7% in 1979 to 86.3% today Made using gnumeric (using the chart tool and the data) and tweaked using inkscape Designed to be very similar to the original png version chart If things go according to plan, i'll teach myself how to use gnuplot and make a version with that (and post the source code) which probably won't look like the original version. World population milestones went unnoticed until the 20th century, since there was no reliable data on global population dynamics [2] the population of the world reached
