Note periods when the population increased, e.g. 18th century (industrial revolution) and late 20th century (post World War II).
The world population between 1800 and 1950 was about 2.5 billion people. As of the data collected in 2012, the population stands at 7.046 billion.
The population grew dramatically in these years. Advances in technologies made medical science better and lifespans longer, and a baby boom happened right after WWII.
i think around 1800-1950 :/ but even im a little unclear on it
The global population increase from 1.8 billion to 2.5 billion between 1913 and 1950 was driven by several factors, including advancements in medicine and public health that reduced mortality rates, particularly from infectious diseases. The development of vaccines and antibiotics, coupled with improved sanitation and nutrition, contributed to higher life expectancy. Additionally, the post-World War II baby boom and increased agricultural productivity due to the Green Revolution further fueled population growth during this period.
This might be why...World population dramatically increased in the 1950s because of low mortality due to health improvements in developing countries (where most of the growth was) and still high fertility which was common in traditional societies. (look up: Demographic transition theory)
