World in 2005

The population of the World in 2005 was 6,586,970,132. Over the previous ten years the population grew by 14.4%, up from 5,758,878,982 in 1995. Half of the population was younger than 27.2 years; 28.5% were children under 15 and 7.3% were 65 or older. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
