AP reported that the global population growth rate last year was less than 1%.
According to the US Census Bureau, by early 2024, there will be an estimated 4.3 births and 2 deaths every second worldwide .
The US population growth rate in 2023 is 0.53%, half the world average. The US added 1.7 million people this year and will have a population of 335.8 million on New Year's Day.
If the current pace continues through the end of the decade, the 2020s could be the slowest decade of population growth in U.S. history, with growth below 4% over the 10-year period from 2020 to 2030.
The slowest growth decade since then was after the Great Depression of the 1930s, when growth was 7.3%.
“Of course, the growth rate could be a little higher coming out of the pandemic years but it is still difficult to reach 7.3%,” Mr. Frey said.
By early 2024, the U.S. is expected to have a birth every 9 seconds and a death every 9.5 seconds. Immigration, however, is keeping the U.S. population from shrinking. Net international migration is expected to add one person to the U.S. population every 28.3 seconds.
The combination of births, deaths, and net international migration adds one person to the U.S. population every 24.2 seconds.
