Will humans overload the Earth?

The population of people on planet Earth has already exceeded 8 billion since last year.

More precisely, in the year 2024, on this day, there are already more than 8.084.662.751 people on Earth and the number is still increasing due to all the factors of decreasing the number of people on our planet Earth.

Wars are spreading across our planet Earth, as are shortages of goods and hunger, but the number of Earthlings has already grown by more than 2 million and 298 thousand in 2024.

In 2024, more than 1 million and 899 thousand people died. More than 4 million and 197 thousand of them have been born according to the data on worldometer.

The following countries contribute the most to the increase of the human population on Earth with the largest reproduction factors at the annual level or the increase of their population: Syria (+4,98%), Moldova (+4,98%), Niger (+3,8%), DR Congo (+3,29%) and Chad (3,13%). Mali, Somalia, Angola and Mayotte also have an annual increase of more than 3% of the human population.

The largest population deficit is recorded in Ukraine (-7,45%), where the war is not abating in any way and migration flows to other countries are not abating and Russia has already annexed Crimea and the so-called Donetsk basin, where the most terrible battles between soldiers are taking place Russian Federation and Ukraine.

Ukraine is followed by Lebanon  (-2,47%), Bulgaria (-1,39%), Lithuania (-1,15%) and Saint Helena (-1,12%) with a population deficit. In addition to these countries, Latvia and Serbia also have an annual deficit of more than 1%.

Of course, one of the criteria for assessing the population of the Earth is also the number of inhabitants per square kilometer of an individual country. Monaco, Macao, Singapore, Hong Kong and Gibraltar have the largest population on square kilometer. Of all these listed countries, only Monaco is reducing the annual population growth with -0.47%.
