World in 2011

In 2011, the World had a total population of 7,110,923,765 people. A decade earlier, in 2001, the population was 6,254,936,459; it has grown by 13.7% since. Half of the population was younger than 28.4 years; 27.1% were children under 15 and 7.7% 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.
