Where do you fit in?

I am apparently the 5,230,827,654th person alive on Earth and the 80,257,887,784th person to have lived since history began. Obviously not a precise number, but interesting nonetheless.

When you were born, you were the 4,428,512,988th person alive on Earth, 79,003,386,871st person to have lived since history began.

United States:
POPULATION: 311,284,357

Every hour, there are:
484 Births
288 Deaths
+113 Immigrants
Average yearly growth: +0.9%

Life expectancy varies across the world.

80.5: Female average
75.4: Male average
The average life expectancy in the USA is 78 years.

What's next? The global population will continue to increase during your lifetime and beyond, reaching 10 billion by 2083. However, the rate of growth is expected to slow. Little of the current growth is happening in developed countries like yours.

Longer lives: In your area, women can expect to have one or two children. People are also living longer. This means people of working age like you will be supporting increasing numbers of older people. By 2050, there will be just 2.2 working-age people supporting every person 65 or older. In Europe, this will drop to two.

Battle for resources: It is estimated that your group of the richest countries consumes double the resources used by the rest of the world. The UN estimates that if current population and consumption trends continue, by the 2030s we will need the equivalent of two Earths to support us.

Did you know? By mid-century, the world's urban population is likely to be the same size as the global population was in 2004.

402 people: the amount the population has grown while you've been on this site.

Young people: The world's population is young, like you. Under-25s make up 43% of the global population, but they make up 60% of the world's least-developed countries. Some 97 out of every 100 new births are in countries classified as less developed than yours.

I am the 5,623,147,260th person to have ended up in this funny old world, and the 80,883,713,219th punter since history began. As a male hailing from a soggy little island (the United Kingdom), I am expected to pop my cogs some 77.4 years after my birth.

Here's some other fascinating facts:

The global population will continue to increase during my life, reaching 10 billion by 2083. However, the rate of growth is expected to slow. Little of the current growth is happening in developed countries like mine.

The world's population is young, like me. Under-25s make up 43% of the global population, but they make up 60% of the world's least-developed countries. Some 97 out of every 100 new births are in countries classified as less developed than mine, making me damn lucky.

It is estimated that my group of the richest countries - being a bunch of greedy guts - consumes double the resources used by the rest of the world. The UN estimates that if current population and consumption trends continue, by the 2030s we will need the equivalent of two Earths to support us.

People in my land of birth have, on average, more than one mobile phone subscription per person.

The population has grown by 3,527 while I was moseying around.

I can't help it but think that the number of people alive since the beginning of recorded history is an outright Ass Pull.

To the exact degree that they seem to have? Probably. I imagine they have some good, general idea of what it is, though.

When I was born, I was the 5,702,474,119th person alive on Earth and 81,008,140,236th person to have lived since history began.

In the United States of America, there are:

  • 484 Births
  • 288 Deaths
  • 113 Immigrants

...per hour.

Life expectancy:

  • 80.5 Female average
  • 75.4 Male average
  • 78 General average life expectancy

Young people: The world's population is young, like you. Under-25s make up 43% of the global population, but they make up 60% of the world's least-developed countries. Some 97 out of every 100 new births are in countries classified as less developed than yours.

There you go, Savage. Young people to fuel your revolution.

Battle for resources: It is estimated that your group of the richest countries consumes double the resources used by the rest of the world. The UN estimates that if current population and consumption trends continue, by the 2030s we will need the equivalent of two Earths to support us.

Perhaps the BBC considers individual phones to be individual subscriptions, based on how it works in the UK? I dunno, otherwise.

Also, "worrisome" doesn't do that justice...
