The world's population is projected to reach 8 billion people on November 15, 2022, according to a United Nations (UN) report.

Based on UN records, the growth of the world's population has never been as rapid as it is now. This rapid population growth is due to increased human lifespan resulting from improvements in public health, nutrition, personal hygiene, and medicine.

This population growth is also a result of consistently high fertility rates in several countries.

Although it took 12 years for the global population to grow from 7 to 8 billion, it will take approximately 15 years, until 2037, to reach 9 billion. According to the UN, this is a sign that the overall global population growth rate is slowing down.

“This milestone (reaching 8 billion world population) is an opportunity to celebrate diversity and progress while considering humanity’s shared responsibility for the planet,” said UN Secretary-General António Guterres, as quoted from the UN website on Tuesday (November 15).

According to a Worldometers report, there are 10 countries that contribute the most to the world's population. One of them is Indonesia, which ranks fourth.

1. China: 1.45 billion people
2. India: 1.41 billion people
3. United States: 335.67 million people
4. Indonesia: 280.56 million people
5. Pakistan: 231.56 million people
6. Nigeria: 219.02 million people
7. Brazil: 216.2 million people
8. Bangladesh: 168.67 million people
9. Russia: 146.08 million people
10. Mexico: 132.22 million people
