The growth rate of the world population is accelerating at an incredible speed. It took thousands of years for the global population to hit 5 billion; this happened in 1987. However, it only took 32 years to reach close to 8 billion people. Another noteworthy stat is that globally, people over 65 years of age now outnumber children under 5. People are living longer, but they are having less children.
