The global population is 7.875 billion. According to the global report "World Population in 2022" released by the United Nations Population Fund, the total world population at this stage is 7.875 billion. Although it still maintains a positive growth trend compared with the total population of 7.7 billion released in 20 19, the growth rate is slowing down, and more countries are beginning to experience population shrinkage. At the same time, the report released some signals that the distribution of world population growth is extremely unbalanced.

Global population development trend

The least developed areas will become the fastest growing areas, sub-Saharan Africa will become the main driving force of population growth by the end of this century, while the population of other parts of the world will reach its peak and decline before the end of this century, entering a period of negative growth. With the development of economy, negative population growth and population aging will become normal problems. Negative population growth and population aging go hand in hand and influence each other.
