The answer
8,200,000,000 people
Roughly 8.2B.
The United Nations estimates the world population passed 8 billion in November 2022 and keeps growing by roughly 70 million people a year. Growth has slowed sharply: the annual rate peaked above 2% in the 1960s and is now under 1%. Almost all remaining growth comes from sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
