UN World Population Prospects 2024 · about 132 million babies born in 2023
If you were born in one of 172 countries
About four babies are born on Earth every second. Here is where they are born, and the life each country can expect to give them, in the real statistics of 172 countries. Choose a country to see more.
How the birthplace draw works
Birth mode: a country’s annual births divided by the total births represented in the game. Population mode: its population divided by the total population represented. These are different draws, and neither gives every country equal weight.
This comparison uses the game’s bundled present-day snapshot: 131,932,758 annual births across 172 countries and regions. Population shares use the same snapshot. The original population source is UN World Population Prospects 2024. Values are model inputs, rather than a live demographic counter. Historical and future games use time-dependent figures.
For example, 10,000 births out of 1,000,000 modeled births would give a 1% draw chance, or about one in 100. Drawing repeatedly does not guarantee an exact sequence; independent random outcomes can cluster. Read the game guide for the controls and starting options.
