Here is some cool information about the world's population（人口) .
| It took 12 years for the world's population to grow from 7 billion to2022's 8 billion. But it will take about 15 years for the population to reach 9billion. That's because fewer babies are born now. In 50 years, this can slow the growth of the world's population. |
| The day on which the world's population grows by one billion is important. The United Nations chooses a baby born on that day as the symbolic (象征的) baby. For example, the world's population reached 8billion on November 15,2022. Vinice Mabansag was born on that day and she became the symbolic 8 billionth baby. |
| More boys than girls are born around the world. There are 106 baby boys born for every 100 baby girls. There are 1. 8 billion people between the ages of 10 and 24. That's the largest number ever (有史以来). |
