Global Census at population.io

You do know your age. But how many people are older or younger than you? Population.io is an online site that keeps track of the world’s population. It also lets you know how many people in the world, home country or any other country are either older or younger than you. And for some you, or us, the numbers and percentages are very surprising. Or are they not? At the time of writing this, we are 7,340,356,127 and adding up like seconds of a clock. That means by the time you visit, the numbers will be considerably higher. I came across this site after reading an article by Charles Onyango-Obbo in the Daily Monitor. All you need to do is enter your date of birth, country of birth and sex, then hit the GO button. In seconds you will get to know your age position, in the world.

About Population.io aims to make demography – the study of human populations – accessible to a wider audience. We believe that demographic data can play an important role in understanding the social and economic developments of our time. Our hope is that people from all walks of life, in all ages and across all countries will explore a new perspective of their own life and find their own place in the world of today and tomorrow.
