World in 2020

The population of the World in 2020 was 7,887,001,292. A decade earlier, in 2010, the population was 7,021,732,148; it has grown by 12.3% since. The median age was 30.6 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 39.8 children under 15 and 14.4 people aged 65 or over. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
