The population is an extremely important factor for the development of mankind. We live and do not even think about how many people die in a day in the world and how many are born. Is it time to pay attention to this?
The world's population
Today, the world's population is seven billion people. The largest number is China, followed by India. The third place was taken by the USA.
The average life expectancy today is about 67 years. Despite the fact that women live on average 12 years longer. However, the lives of the inhabitants of the Central African Republic, as a rule, are shorter than all.
Statistics say that 55 million people die on average around the world per year. It sounds quite menacing. But also inexorable statistics report that 140 million children are born annually. And total 108 billion ever lived on Earth.
Already today there is a tendency to "overpopulation" of the planet by people. The standard of living is constantly growing in developed countries and is steadily striving for zero in third world countries. But, despite this, scientists began to sound the alarm in connection with the overpopulation of the Earth.
Mortality
Have you ever wondered how many people die in a day in the world? Of course not. And how many people die in Russia per day?
Regularly, data related to the census are published regularly, and much less often - with mortality, and most importantly, with the causes of deaths. Not so long ago, the following information was announced:
- On average, 150 thousand people die every day around the world. And only a third of infectious diseases. In Russia, at the same time, 233 people per hour die every day.
- The most common cause of death in countries considered more developed is coronary heart disease, heart attacks, strokes and road accidents. In countries that are considered to be backward in terms of development, hunger and chronic malnutrition are often the cause of death.
The most common causes of death
If we talk only about developed countries with a high standard of living, then the most common causes of death are strokes, heart diseases, cancer, road accidents, AIDS and severe lung diseases (pneumonia, tuberculosis).
From such data it follows that often people themselves try to kill themselves quite successfully. When tracking how many people die in a day in the world, scientists have found one interesting thing: often they themselves are to blame for their deaths. Darwin Prize winners alone are worth it!
If we talk about the countries of the "third world", then the top of the list of "killers" hunger - the main problem of states with low living standards. At the same time, on the other side of the world, doctors are tired of treating obesity.
Birth rate
Despite all these scary figures, it is worth recalling the massive increase in demographics. Around the world, an hourly average of 15 347 children are born, 163 of them in Russia. How many people die per day in the world? 150 million. How many babies are born per hour? 15 thousand. So the extinction of humanity is not yet threatened.
