How does the World Population Clock work?
Of course the world population clock doesn’t really count the number of people who are born or die on the earth. It is based on data from the US- American Population Reference Bureau (RPB). Experts from the RPB calculate the population growth right down to the every second.
The World Population Clock grows by 2.5 people everyday.
| Growth of world population | |
| Per year: | 78.794.218 people |
| Per month: | 6.566.185 people |
| Per week: | 1.515.273 people |
| Per day: | 215.875 people |
| Per hour: | 8.995 people |
| Per minute: | 150 people |
| Per second: | 2,5 people |
Selected social and demographic data from more than 180 countries and respective regions of the world can be found on the coutnrydatabank from Deutschen Stiftung Weltbevölkerung.
