How Many People In The World Die Every Day?
And how many people are born?
With the waning of the COVID-19 pandemic dovetailing into a brutal war in Ukraine, one begins to wonder how many people are dying every day. Is it hundreds? Thousands? Millions? The answer is not exactly clear on its face. Many numbers are kept about death. How many people die from certain causes. How many people die in wars. How many people die in accidents. But few people know how many people die every day in general.
Global Deaths Per Day
According to World Population Review, the world averages
166,308 deaths per day. Out of a planet of nearly 8 billion people that number does not seem all that bad. The countries with the most deaths per day fall in line by population almost exactly to a T.
China has the most. India has the second most. The United States has the third most. And so on.
China loses over 30,000 people per day. But they have 1.5 billion people in their country. India has a similar population and has a very similar number of deaths.
The percentage of the global population that dies daily is just 2.090884985786715e-5%. A very minuscule number.
