what is the population of world?

Answer 1

6,446,131,400 (July 2005 est.)

that's six billion,four hundred and forty six million, one hundred and thirty one thousand, four hundred ;)

Answer 2

The world population increased from 3 billion in 1959 to 6 billion by 1999, a doubling that occurred over 40 years. The Census Bureau's latest projections imply that population growth will continue into the 21st century, although more slowly. The world population is projected to grow from 6 billion in 1999 to 9 billion by 2042, an increase of 50 percent that will require 43 years.

Answer 3

The World population
The world population is the total number of humans alive on the planet Earth at a given time. According to estimates published by the United States Census Bureau[1], the Earth's population reached 6.5 billion on Saturday, February 25, 2006.[2] In line with population projections, this figure continues to grow at rates that are unprecedented prior to the 20th century. By some estimates, there are now one billion people in the world between the ages of fifteen and twenty-four.

The future population growth of the world is difficult to predict. Birth rates are declining slightly on average, but vary greatly between developed countries (where birth rates are often at or below replacement levels) and developing countries. Death rates can change unexpectedly due to disease, wars and catastrophes, or advances in medicine. The UN itself has issued multiple projections of future world population, based on different assumptions. Over the last 10 years, the UN has consistently revised these projections downward.

Current projections by the UN's Population Division, based on the 2004 revision of the World Population Prospects database [3], are as follows.

Year Population (billions)

2010 6.8

2020 7.6

2030 8.2

2040 8.7

2050 8.9

Other projections of population growth predict that the world's population will eventually crest, though it is uncertain exactly when or how. In some scenarios, the population will crest as early as the mid-21st century at under 9 billion, due to gradually decreasing birth rates.

In other scenarios, disasters triggered by the growing population's demand for scarce resources will eventually lead to a sudden population crash, or even a Malthusian catastrophe (also see overpopulation).

Asia accounts for over 60% of the world population with almost 3.8 billion people. China and India alone comprise 20% and 16% respectively. Africa follows with 840 million people, 12% of the world population. Europe's 710 million people make up 11% of the world's population. North America is home to 514 million (8%), South America to 371 million (5.3%) and Oceania to roughly 60 million (.9%)
