    The "8 billionth person" is really a misnomer and it's definitely being made a bigger deal than it actually is. They're not the 8 billionth person ever, they're just the newest person at the moment where there happens to be exactly (8 billion - 1) other people alive. Given that 4 people are born every second and 2 people die every second, it's next to impossible to identify the 8 billionth person and there's even a chance there will be more than one.

      Dude, you cannot tally the exact world population to the exact person; that makes no sense. These counts could be off by 400 million people and that is just assuming 5% error, which these counts could be as high as 10%; no one knows; you think africa keeps good census data?
      The US doesn't even do a census until every 10 years
      And the 'birth/death' rate are also totally guessed and not known, so it is even worse. I am just amazed you thought you would actually get close to knowing the exact 8 billionth alive person
      The way they do 'world population' is by making sweeping assumptions and generalizations, then coming up with a number, then telling people the number is accurate because they have 'authority.' Total sham

      Certainly lack of wars and disease control play a big part in the growth, but the biggest factor is probably nutrition. Without Fritz Haber's process, we couldn't support our current population.

      the short answer is no. These numbers aren't exact and are estimates based on data provide from previous years as well as growth trends. There is a good chance that we don't even have 8 billion people yet, or that we actually hit it a few days ago, but the best guess is that it was today.

    I was born just 2 years before we had 3 billion people. So there has been more than 5 billion people born after me. I remember when the population of Earth reached 3.5 Billion in 1970 and 4 billion by 1974 or 75 an extra 500 million added to Earth's just 4-5 years from 1970. Earth's pop hit the 5 billion mark by 1987 and 6 billion in 1999. Our pop reached 7 billion in 2011 and now in 2022 8 billion people living on Earth. Think about it more than 5 billion people have been born in 60+ years since I entered world a truly staggering number people who've been added to the world in only the 60 odd years of my life. 👥 🌏🌍🌎

    So here is the thing, India CAN actually feed its population. Look it up really, India has the ability to produce more than enough food to sustain its population. I feel like its just typical media basically showing pictures of traffic jams in two-lane roads and then complaining about overpopulation. The truth is, people flock from the countryside to the cities, while the countryside, and even fairly large towns and small cities are getting emptier and emptier. Even in supposedly "overpopulated" places like India, the truth is that people just keep flocking to cities that quite frankly weren't ever designed to house so many people. We need better designed cities and better building codes.

    we had a lot of children when we worked on farms and stuff since children are free labor. (don't take that out of context) Would you hire someone and pay them money, or would you have sex and wait a few months? now that we live in cramped urban areas, it's more expensive to have children than to hire someone to work for you. This causes low birth rates, especially in urban areas.

    Birth rate is below replacement in the West and in the East. This is because the birth rate is so low in the West and in the East. In the West, you also have explosions in the amount of stress, homelessness and obesity. In both the West and the East you have explosions in the rates of suicide, especially in young men and teenagers. Considering the current economic crisis, there's probably gonna be increases in alcoholism and drug abuse, as well. In the third world, on the other hand, birth rates are extremely high and newly improved medicine and more food and clean water means that the life expectancy is going up. This is thanks to the massive cities that are going up in sub-Saharan African nations, that's allowing the infrastructure needed for all of this medicine, food and clean water. Some sub-Saharan African nations even have middle classes now. These cities still have massive, sprawling slums, but a sizeable proportion are now in actually liveable conditions. Plus, all of the Western aid going to these areas of the world (which is probably drying up if we're in the middle of a recession and we're already sending military and regular aid to Ukraine). So, the reason why we went from 7 billion to 8 billion is mostly because of population growth in poorer regions of the world, rather than because of the first world. Will population growth slow down due to the current economic crisis, if it causes first world nations to be less willing to give aid to third world ones, which is where all of the population growth is happening, and the deaths from the war in Ukraine and Russia from the conflict itself and from famines in the third world due to disruption in supply of food from Ukraine because of the war, probably civil wars in third world nations over food shortages, killing yet more people? Will the population size outright shrink? Will the recession and the war in Ukraine prevent us from reaching 9 billion for an extremely long time to come? I wonder...
    China's birth rate's below replacement. It doesn't have much immigration into their country. So the population will most likely actually shrink by the year 2055. India's birth rate, on the other hand, is very high...
