when did the world's population increased the fastest
Population growth The annual increase in the number of living humans peaked at 88.0 million in 1989, then slowly declined to 73.9 million in 2003, after which it rose again to 75.2 million in 2006. In 2017, the human population increased by 83 million.[16] Generally, developed nations have seen a decline in their growth rates in recent decades, though annual growth rates remain above 2% in poverty-stricken countries of the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa, and also in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.[19]
World population In demographics, the world population is the total number of humans currently living. The world population was estimated to have reached 7.6 billion as of October 2017[1]. The United Nations estimates it will further increase to 11.2 billion by the year 2100.[2]
