According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates released on Monday, the world population is projected to increase by over 71 million in 2024, reaching 8.09 billion on New Year’s Day.
The world population increased by 0.9% in 2024, marking a slight slowdown from 2023, when it grew by an impressive 75 million people. In January 2025, projections indicate that there will be 4.2 births and 2.0 deaths every second across the globe.
According to the Census Bureau, the United States’ population increased by 2.6 million people in 2024, bringing the total to 341 million on New Year’s Day. In January 2025, it is expected that there will be one birth every 9 seconds and one death every 9.4 seconds.
International migration will contribute to an increase in the U.S. population by adding one person every 23.2 seconds. When factoring in births, deaths, and net international migration, the overall U.S. population will grow by one person every 21.2 seconds, as stated by the Census Bureau.
In the 2020s, the U.S. population has increased by nearly 9.7 million people, resulting in a growth rate of 2.9%. In the previous decade, the 2010s, the U.S. saw a growth of 7.4%, which was the lowest rate since the 1930s.
India surpassed China as the world’s most populous country.
More than half of the projected increase in the global population will be concentrated in eight countries: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, and the United Republic of Tanzania.
The FAO estimates that as many as 25,000 people lose their lives every day as a result of hunger. That adds up to roughly 9.1 million people who die of starvation each year.
This is more than AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. Almost half of them are children. Globally, 822 million people suffer from undernourishment.
Conflict is a cause and consequence of hunger. In 2020, conflict was the primary driver of hunger for 99.1 million people in 23 countries.
An estimated 14 million children under the age of five worldwide suffer from severe acute malnutrition.
