Current World Population

As of 2025, the global population exceeds 8 billion. This figure highlights the remarkable growth humanity has experienced, particularly in the last century.

Growth Trends Over the Last Century

In 1900, the global population was around 1.6 billion. The 20th century witnessed unprecedented growth due to advancements in medicine, technology, and agriculture. The population doubled between 1950 and 2000.

Factors Influencing Population Growth

Factors include healthcare advancements, which reduce mortality rates, and economic development, which influences fertility rates. Cultural norms and government policies, such as China's one-child policy, also play a significant role.
