These Population Stats Will Blow Your Mind

Today we're looking at ridiculous stats from around the world

So for example, we can see the current world population right now is 8,192,604,022

25, 28, it's kind of jumping up and down a bit, 34, 36

Obviously it has to account for both births, so you can see that just today, 248,000 people have been born

Look at that, that number going up right this moment as you watch this video

Is it just as mind-blowing for you as it is for me to think about somewhere in the world

Someone is being born, like, what, three times a second? And at the same time, a little bit slower, somebody is dying now

Now. Someone else. Another death. Another person's dead. 117,000 deaths today. It is interesting seeing the net population growth is in a little bit of a constant battle between death and life

But new births are constantly winning. You see the number teeters up and down a little bit, but definitely goes up by a lot overall

Meaning that just today, the net population on Earth is 131,000. Now, all of these new humans need things like healthcare and vehicles

So what's happening here? That's crazy! 11 billion public healthcare expenditure today

When I first loaded this site, I assumed that this was like the yearly total? How is that much being spent on public healthcare just today

All right, it's gone up a million dollars. Let's give it a second. There's another million dollars. Right as I'm talking, getting this sentence out, there's another million dollars

How are things not better in the world if that much is being spent on healthcare? Just today on education, 7 billion

Just today? Just today on military, 3 billion? What? 82 million cars produced this year

148 million bicycles produced this year. It's interesting that bicycles is quite a bit higher than cars

I know that certain countries' bikes are pretty normalized, but in the UK, surely there's way more cars than there are bikes

Okay, it's reckoned there's 33 million cars in the UK, so obviously a lot of cars were produced before this year

compared to 20 million bicycles. So it is less, but it's not that much less

Only 2 million sold in Great Britain in 2022 though. All right, for this next one, I'm going to try and guess the numbers

This is society and media. So I've already seen that there have been 2.6 million new book titles published this year

That is an awful lot. But what about newspapers circulated today? Well, it's global, isn't it

So let's say... I have no idea. Just today, 2 million? Let's see

Oh, 314 million. Look at how fast that number's going up. That's insane

People are still reading newspapers, it turns out. Okay, TV sets sold worldwide today

How many people in the world are buying a TV just on this day? Singular

I mean, all the numbers are so high, but surely that's not that high. Let's say 24 million

Let's have a look. Oh, the newspaper one pushed me way up

Yeah, that makes sense. That's still a ridiculous amount of people buying a TV. Okay, cellular phones sold today

Do people more frequently purchase a TV or purchase a phone? Definitely a phone

If you get a TV, if you look after it, you could have it for like 10 years, couldn't you? So that means phones are going to be higher than 400,000

So I'll say 2 million. There's a lot of people in the world

We've got 8 billion. A lot of them are getting access to stuff. It 5 billion Okay fair enough Money spent on video games just today So that not just buying a game that buying content within a game So if you was to purchase a new skin pack on fortnight for example

And i'm sure I heard that fortnight makes a million quid a day or something

So money spent on video games today. I'm gonna say something stupid like 200 million. Let's have a look Oh

I got that one pretty accurate. That's insane though Like each time I say one word basically another thousand dollars somewhere across the globe is being

spent on video games. Internet users in the world today. Let's assume at this point it's over 50%

maybe even 60%. So if it's 8 billion, we could say 5 billion users. Let's see. 6 billion

more than I thought. Okay, fair enough. Email sent today. That's got to be high. There are so many

jobs out there where you're sending emails all day. Like one person could easily send 20 plus

and there are a lot of people at work. And I guess it also includes automated emails from newsletters

subscriptions shopping orders i think it's in the billions i'm gonna say 1 billion today let's see

oh my 200 billion i thought i was going high blog posts written today okay that's gotta be lower i

know there's still a lot of blog posts out there but that's gotta be lower these days i'll say

900 000 let's see oh it's seven million i was literally nowhere close at all tweets sent today

another interesting one i would assume that that number's going down year on year but it probably

isn't it's probably going up i'll look into it after for tweets sent just today it's gonna be

in the multi-millions uh let's say 20 million 687 million what oh we've got another one google

searches today do you think more people tweet or google something surely you google something more

often than you tweet something right so for that i'm gonna say i'm gonna go with how many users

are there wait that's internet users in the world today not just in general so that number could be

be even higher. What is going on? How is there that many? So the 6.4 billion internet users just

today, as I record this video, the Google searches must be one quarter of that maybe? I'll say 2

billion. Let's see. 8 billion? What? How are the numbers that big? What? That is insane. All right

moving on to a sad one. I won't play a game based on this. This is environment. So we can see that

4 million hectares of forest has been lost this year. That's awful. 6.5 million HA. I don't know

what HA is. I think it's a type of hectares or something. Land lost to soil erosion. So that's

pretty significant. 36 billion tons of CO2 emissions. 11 million desertification. I don't

know what that is. The process of restoring land that has been affected by this. Oh no, nevermind

I thought it was a good thing. Ah, I can change from today to this year. That'll be more fun when

we look at the internet stuff so let's see total email sent this year is that 106 trillion i think

it is so if we got 700 million tweets just today how many are sent this year 339 billion now let's

compare that to google searches 3.9 billion i suppose with tweets i wasn't thinking about replies

which are obviously going to be probably the majority of tweets people having a conversation back and forth when i think of a tweet i think of like somebody broadcasting a statement but yeah replies are surely well over 50 of this That crazy though Is that 9 trillion Google searches Is that how much you spent a year on video games

Oh, 113 billion. Okay. Here's another pretty sad one. 883 million undernourished people in the

world. So that is about 10% of the world, right? That's a lot of people. 1.7 billion people are

overweight. 876 million are obese. It's kind of interesting thinking about this number going up

as we talk. So I guess that means that based on their estimates, someone in the world right now

is just suddenly put on an extra pound. Is that kind of what was happening? I suppose 21,000 people

have died of hunger just today. So how many is that in a year long period? 10 million people per

year. We can also see how much water is being used per year. 4 billion million liters. Whoa

But so many people do not have access to good water. So there have been 788,000 deaths caused by water related diseases this year

And how many just today? 1,605. A lot of people still no access to safe drinking water. Okay, I can't keep looking at this without feeling the need to do something

So I am going to donate a thousand dollars to save the children. They work specifically with African children that are in poverty

I'll leave the link in the description just in case you also wish to donate. Okay, we're going to look at country populations

now. And obviously we have India has recently overtaken China, 1.45 billion because China's

yearly change is going down. So I want to see what countries are decreasing the most and what

countries are increasing the most. So let's go net change. So China, literally the lowest. In the

last year, they have gone down by 3.2 million people. So obviously the fact that they have 1.4

billion people, that's not a huge number, but it does mean that more people are dying than being

born by quite a lot when you compare it to other countries. Russia's also on the minuses. Poland

considering Poland is quite a lot smaller in terms of total population, when you look at the others

it's interesting that it is fourth on the list. Let's look into why that is. Economic uncertainty

lack of job security, and changing social attitudes. Others say Poland's restrictive

abortion laws also contribute to the decline. Also, young people tend to emigrate to other

countries, so they end up having their children elsewhere. Okay, makes a lot of sense. Whereabouts

is United Kingdom on this list? Is United Kingdom plus or negative? I'd guess it's probably slightly

negative change, but let's have a look. Now, it is a positive change. We've gone up by half a million

Okay, that's quite a lot. So we're approaching 70 million people. Okay, let's have a look at which

country populations are growing the most. I'm assuming it's quite a few African countries

maybe Ethiopia, Nigeria. Let's have a look. India is up by 12 billion, which is a huge number. 12

billion, a massive increase. And there's Nigeria up at second, up by 4.7 million. As you can see

India's population is growing so much faster than even number two. Pakistan's up there very high

Democratic Republic of Congo, there's Ethiopia as predicted. We've also got Indonesia, but they do

have a huge population. You know, that's nearly triple what Ethiopia and Congo have got going on

Bangladesh, another Asian country, Egypt? Okay, United States is quite high on the list too

Whoa this is people living on earth and we get to see every single one of them They all got an individual number so if you are watching this video you are represented somewhere on this web page let find you let have a right little scroll oh look at us all holding hands as well here number four

billion fifty three million one hundred and fifty thousand zero thousand i don't know how to say the

number four billion fifty three million one hundred and fifty thousand and thirty eight okay oh god i

did not realize how long this web page is all right let's find number one here we go here we go

is that him oh that's eight nine thousand oh there may be too many watch as we increase let's click

okay do we get to see it look at this we get to see everybody being born wow that's amazing to

visualize look at that literally right now in the world people are coming out of other people one by

one that's crazy i maybe could have phrased that differently but either way look at that oh there

we go there's another one and another yep yep i want to see them dying can i see them dying anyway

oh we can see it via continent this is a really interesting one so yellow represents someone

existing in asia black represents africa red represents the americas blue is europe which is

still quite a decent splattering obviously asia is massively dominating and green which there

really is very little of that is oceania yeah the green are spread out considerably far and then

quite a few black a good amount of red obviously that's north and south america let's see them

increase all right let's try and see the continent as they pop up okay um asia asia africa asia

nope i can't do that oh here we have the median age of the population so you can see where more

people were being born and people were maybe dying a bit younger back in the 20th century the average

age was about 20. whereas i guess as people live longer and health care gets better and fertility

rates slightly slow down the median age in 2024 is now 30 years old and i suppose it's nice that

people are living longer right fertility rates tall fertility rate of 2.1 represents the replacement

level fertility the average number of children per woman needed for each generation to exactly

replace itself without needing international immigration i don't understand that one but

it's 2.2 either way life expectancy in the world okay so this is total average population obviously

some countries it's way lower some countries way higher but generally speaking humans live for an

an average of 73 years, with females being 76 and males being 70. Quite a bit lower than females

isn't it? What is the actual evolutionary reason that women live longer? Literally in our genetics

women just have a better immune system. Also apparently lifestyle, but you would think

generally it's biological. We can see though the average life expectancy continues to go up. Looks

like it's maybe slightly leveling out, but overall it's going up. Oh, another interesting one, we can

see where people are living. If they're living in the countryside or if they're living in urban

environments like towns and cities so we can see that actually in total more people do live in

rural areas but that number is decreasing as time goes on i mean i guess rural areas just take up

far more of the world well we've looked at some pretty insane data there i'll need you to go back

to the beginning of this video so that you can tell me how many people were born and how many people died while i recorded this it really is mind-blowing to think about hopefully you found

this interesting and insightful please check that you subscribed i'd love to get to 2 million and i

will see you later
