However, without a frame of reference, numbers such as the death toll can be difficult to interpret. Mortalities attributed to the virus, for example, are often measured in the thousands of people per day globally—but is this number a little or a lot, relative to typical causes of death?
This graphic uses data from Our World in Data to provide context with the total number of worldwide daily deaths. It also outlines how many people who die each day from specific causes. Nearly , people die per day worldwide, based on the latest comprehensive research published in Which diseases are the most deadly, and how many lives do they take per day? Cardiovascular diseases, or diseases of the heart and blood vessels, are the leading cause of death. However, their prominence is not reflected in our perceptions of death nor in the media.
The disease causes over 2, daily deaths on average. Terrorism and natural disasters cause relatively very few deaths. That said, these numbers can vary from day to day—and year to year—depending on the severity of each individual instance.
On a national level, these statistics vary further. Below are the total deaths from all causes for selected countries, based on data. China and India both see more than 25, total deaths per day, due to their large populations. Again it is possible to switch this chart to any other country or world region in the world. How do we expect this to change in the coming decades? What does this mean for population growth? Population projections show that the yearly number of births will remain at around million per year over the coming decades.
It is then expected to slowly decline in the second-half of the century. As the world population ages , the annual number of deaths is expected to continue to increase in the coming decades until it reaches a similar annual number as global births towards the end of the century. As the number of births is expected to slowly fall and the number of deaths to rise the global population growth rate will continue to fall. This is when the world population will stop to increase in the future.
