World death and birth rate

Source	UN (World Population Prospects 2024)
Date	11 Oct 2025

The global number of deaths will be around 63.14 million in 2025, which is 746k more than compared to 62.39 million in 2024. There are 172,975 people who die each day in the world; that is 7,207 per hour, 120 per minute, and nearly 2 per second. The lowest number of total deaths per year was 46.06 million in 1962, and the highest total deaths of 122.9 million will be in 2100.

The global number of births will be around 132.40 million in 2025, which is 6,754 less than the 132.41 million in 2024. There are 362,737 babies born each day in the world, which translates to 15,114 each hour, 252 each minute, and around 4 each second. In 1950, total births per year were the lowest at 91.82 million. Total births per year peaked in 2012 with 146.05 million 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 2084, resulting in a world population decline.

In 2025, the crude death rate for the world is 7.67 deaths per thousand population, and the crude birth rate for the world is 16.08 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, the death rate will increase after 2026.
