About 8.156 billion people will be the world population in 2024

The world population in 2024 will reach about 8.156 billion people, an increase of about 82 million people over last year (8.083 billion people), according to estimates by the German World Population Foundation..

The world population exceeded 8 billion people in November 2022, and the United Nations expects it to exceed the level of 9 billion people in 2037, while it is likely that the world population may rise to 10 billion people in the second half of the century..

According to the German Foundation, the world’s population is steadily increasing, but this increase has become increasingly slower, as the birth rate for women worldwide currently stands at 2.2 children on average..

The Foundation noted that the population is growing very rapidly in Africa, as it is expected to double there in the next two decades.
