Global Population: Overview
A country or region's population is defined as the total number of people living there.
The world's population is growing at a low single-digit annual rate right now. Every year, the population is predicted to grow by 81 million people. The world's population more than doubled between 1959 and the 2000s. The annual population growth rate peaked in the late 1960s. The pace of increase has nearly halved since then, and it is expected to continue to reduce in the coming years around the world.
Male Population: Global Scenario
The global male population stood at 3.9 billion in 2021, representing more than 50% of the world population. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted all aspects of population growth, including fertility and mortality. China had the highest male population in the world in 2021, followed by India, the United States, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria, Brazil, Bangladesh, and Russia. Countries with the lowest male population include Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Montserrat, Saint Helena, Cook Islands, Nauru, Tuvalu, Wallis and Futuna, Anguilla, and Palau.
Globally, the male population has outnumbered the female population since the 1960s. As per population projections from the United Nations, by 2050 it is estimated that the worldwide sex ratio will even out. Countries with the highest male-to-female ratio include Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain.
