Births Today, by Country
Each country’s births so far, projected from its population and crude birth rate — the standard demographic method. Worldwide there are roughly four births every second.
Worldwide, that is about 362,801 per day, across every country. The ranked list below is each country’s own share of that flow — tap any country for its full breakdown.

About these numbers
These are honest projections, not a live census. Each country’s yearly figure is carried forward evenly over real elapsed time (birthsper second = the annual figure ÷ 31,556,952 seconds), the same method the headline counters on the Pulse wall use. The source is World Bank Open Data (CC-BY 4.0) (2024). The true value is known only to within a margin; this is the running estimate, and we label it as one.
