Here is some cool information about the world's population.
| It took 12 years for the world's population to grow from 7 billion to 2022's 8 billion. But it will take about 15 years for the population to reach 9 billion. 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 8 billion 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. |
Dear Arizona, I'm invited to my cousin's birthday party, but I don't think I'll go because I don't know any of his friends. Plus, I'm kind of shy anyway, what would you do if you were in my shoes? —Shy in Shreveport | |
Dear Arizona, Once I turn on the TV, I can never turn it off. Have you ever had that problem? If so, do you have any suggestions? —Too much TV in Tennessee | Dear Arizona, My younger brother makes my room in a mess. Maybe I should just laugh it off, but I don't think it's funny. What can I do? —Not Laughing in Louisiana |
