World death and birth rate

Date03 Apr 2024

The global number of deaths will be around 60.95 million in 2024, which is 1.94 million more than compared to 60.95 million in 2023. There are 166,997 people die each day in the world, that is 6,958 per hour, 116 per minute, and nearly 2 per second. The lowest number of total deaths per year was 46.41 mn in 1962, and the highest total deaths of 122.8 mn will be in 2100.

The global number of births will be around 134.48 million births in 2024, which is 205k more than compared to 134.28 million in 2023. There are 368,451 babies born each day in the world, which translates to 15,352 each hour, 256 each minute, and around 4 each second. In 1950, total births per year were the lowest at 92.08 mn. Total births per year peaked in 2012 with 144.19 mn births. The yearly number of births will remain relatively stable in the range of 130-140 million per year over the coming decades.

In the future, the number of births is expected to fall and the number of deaths to rise; hence the global population will grow at a slow rate. The total deaths will overtake total births in the year 2086 resulting in a world population decline.

In 2023, the crude death rate for the world is 7.51 deaths per thousand population, and the crude birth rate for the world is 16.56 births per thousand. The crude death rate and birth rate of the world have been declining at a moderating rate since 1950. While the crude birth rate continues to decline, but the death rate will increase after 2025.
