World in 2024

In 2024, the World had a total population of 8,161,972,573 people. A decade earlier, in 2014, the population was 7,381,616,244; it has grown by 10.6% since. With a median age of 31.6 years, the World had a youth dependency ratio of 38.0 and an old-age dependency ratio of 15.7 per 100 people of working age. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
