Why does population change so fast?
Every second, approximately 4.25 babies are born and 1.9 people pass away worldwide. This results in a net population growth of about 2.35 people per second, or around 200,000 people per day. This live tracker helps visualize that growth in real time, making abstract numbers more tangible.
How is this calculated?
Our counter is based on current demographic data from the World Bank (2024) and applies per-second growth models to reflect reality as closely as possible. We continuously adjust our algorithms based on the latest available data and real-time extrapolation methods.
