The average birthrate is estimated at about 4 to 5 babies per second or 386,000 per day (141 million for the year), the average death rate is about 162,000 per day (59 million for the year) leading to a net yearly increase of about 82 million.

You can also sort on two columns, eg life expectancy within region, by clicking the Life Expectancy column first.

Life Expectancy stats from International Statistics at NationMaster.com, CIA World Factbooks 18 December 2003 to 28 March 2011
plus an update from UN 2010-2015.

When you click the Life Expectancy column you see countries, sadly, where it is low, e.g. in Sub-Saharan Africa, where destructive activity from mind-altering drugs and so-called "casual" sex (ie fornication) is rampant. In many of these countries the under-age-5 mortality rate is well above the norm, with the cause frequently due to sepsis — a young body's inability to cope with bacterial or viral infection. Rev 2:21-23. However, as that under-age-5 link also indicates, the infant mortality rate in those countries over the past 68 years has greatly improved, praise God for the many workers out there.

And with regards to the UN, there are 193 sovereign member states numbered below, though with the governments of 6 of them not recognized by one or more other member states. In alphabetic order, those are Armenia (not diplomatically recognized by Pakistan at present), * China (a number of countries still recognizing the administration in Taiwan in its place, Cyprus (with Turkey recognizing the administration in North Cyprus in its place), ** Israel (with many countries recognizing the administration in the observer *** State of Palestine in its place), North Korea (with France, Japan and South Korea recognizing the government in South Korea in its place), and South Korea (not diplomatically recognized by North Korea at present).

* 14 UN member countries continue to recognize Taiwan at a diplomatic level: 4 small islands in the Pacific Ocean, 4 islands and 4 countries in Central America, Paraguay in South America, Eswatini (Swaziland) in Africa, plus one UN observer country: Vatican City in Rome.
** 29 UN member countries in 2019 refuse to recognize Israel officially (eg at a passport or visa level) and 3 countries (Iran Syria and Lebanon) are engaged in a primary trading boycott of all Israeli business.
*** 138 UN member countries in 2019 recognize the UN observer State of Palestine. Of the 55 UN members who do not recognize the State of Palestine (including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK, US, and most of Europe) there is general support for some form of two-state solution to the conflict.
