The population growth rate estimates (by United Nations)
The population growth rate estimates (according to United Nations Population Prospects 2019) between 2015 and 2020.[1]
The 20 countries in the world in which the population has declined between 2010 and 2015
Historical Population Growth Rate (1950-1955) estimated by the UN.[2]

This article includes a table of countries and self-governing dependent territories by annual population growth rate.

Methodology

The table below shows annual population growth rate history and projections for various areas, countries, regions and sub-regions from various sources for various time periods.

The right-most column shows a projection for the time period shown using the medium fertility variant. Preceding columns show actual history. The number shown is the average annual growth rate for the period.

Population is based on the de facto definition of population, which counts all residents regardless of legal status or citizenship—except for refugees not permanently settled in the country of asylum, who are generally considered part of the population of the country of origin. This means that population growth in this table includes net changes from immigration and emigration. For a table of natural increase, see List of countries by natural increase.
