The world population is the total number of living humans on Earth at a given time. As of November 2008, the world's population is estimated to be about 6.7 billion (6,700,000,000). In line with population projections, this figure continues to grow at rates that were unprecedented before the 20th century, although the rate of growth has almost halved since its peak of 2.2% per year, which was reached in 1963. The world's population, on its current growth trajectory, is expected to reach nearly 9 billion by the year 2042. [1][2]Censuses taken between 300–400 AD[dubious – discuss] showed over 50 million people living in the combined eastern and western Roman empire.[citation needed](citation Dr. Kenneth W. Harl, tulane.edu) Below is a table with historical and predicted population figures shown in millions.[3][4][5] The availability of historical population figures varies by region. (Note These projections here are not kept up to date.) Please see World population estimates for more figures. * Northern America indicates the northern countries and territories of North America Canada, the United States, Greenland, Bermuda, and St. Pierre and Miquelon. This should not be confused with the term "North America" which typically includes Mexico. The United Nations data includes Mexico as part of Latin America.
