The population growth rate estimates (according to the United Nations Population Prospects 2019) between 2015 and 2020 [1] This article includes a table of countries and subnational areas by annual population growth rate.
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 2024 revision of World Population Prospects. It presents population estimates from 1950 to the present. [ 2]

The highest global population growth rates, with increases of over 1.8% per year, occurred between 1955 and 1975, peaking at 2.1% between 1965 and 1970. [3] The growth rate declined to 1.1% between 2015 and 2020 and is projected to decline further in the 21st century. [4]
Published estimates for the 1st century ("AD 1") suggest uncertainty of the order of 50% (estimates range between 150 and 330 million). Some estimates extend their timeline into deep prehistory, to " 10,000 BC", i.e., the early Holocene, when world population estimates range roughly between 1 and 10 million (with an uncertainty of up to an ...
