Population is defined as the total number of people residing in a country or region.
The world's population is currently increasing at a low single-digit annual rate. The population is expected to rise at a rate of 81 million people every year. Between 1959 and the 2000s, the world's population more than doubled. In the late 1960s, the annual population growth rate peaked. Since then, the rate of increase has practically halved, and it is predicted to continue to fall in the future years around the world.

Factors that Have Impacted Population Growth in the US
As per US Consensus Bureau, since April 2010, the population has grown by 19.5 million people, or 6.3 percent, since April 2010, representing an average annual growth rate of 0.66 percent between July 2010 and July 2019, compared to 0.97 percent during the previous decade.
Natural population growth (the difference between births and deaths) and foreign migration account for the major factors that impact population change at the national level. Natural rise has been the primary source of population expansion for the country so far this decade. In 2019, the natural growth fell to 957,000, the lowest level in at least four decades, continuing the trend of fewer births and more deaths.
Since 2016, international migration, the other driver of population growth, has been steadily declining. Net foreign migration increased the country's population by 595,000 people between 2018 and 2019, compared to 1,047,000 in 2016.
