Births Vs Deaths

[Irishlad74]

Hi

How many humans are born every day and how many die every day (approximately). Does it vary throughout the year?

In England, Britain, Europe or the World ?

If you mean the World then you probably need a 24 hour period rather than a "day".

A day is midnight to midnight, so that is a defined day in England / Britain so easier to measure.

But when it is day time in England it is night time in Australia so where does the day start and end?

Here is a long article about World Population so maybe your answer is in there.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population

It says world births are 137 million a year, and deaths 56 million a year.

So it is easy to work out how many born and die in each 24 hour period.

According to my calculation 56 million world deaths a year works out at 153,424 a day.

If that is true how come we got Jade Goody's death rammed down our throats.

Surely we could have found someone who merited all the attention more than her.

Max Clifford and money are the answers to that I think.

I wonder how long it will take after the funeral before Max Clifford gets his bill in....
