What this measures

Annual births divided by 365, from UN World Population Prospects birth estimates.

What it does not

A daily average smooths out real seasonality. Births cluster by month in most countries, and the pattern differs between them.

The bottom of the table

Bars are scaled across the full observed range (1 to 63,014), not to 100%, so the real spread is visible.

How the values are spread

Where the 194 countries fall

The range from 1 to 63,014 is split into 10 equal bands, and each bar counts the countries in one band.

Most countries sit in one band because a few very large values stretch the range. The ranking table below shows the differences within it.

How this is built: each band is one tenth of the gap between the lowest and highest value; a country is counted in the band its value falls in, and the top band includes the highest value. Countries with no comparable figure are left out. Chart drawn with Apache ECharts.

Reading the table

Every baby born anywhere on Earth today is Generation Beta, and will be until 31 December 2039. This table is where that abstraction becomes concrete.

India records roughly 63,000 births a day — more than one baby every 1.4 seconds. China follows at about 24,700 and Nigeria at about 20,500. Nigeria is the striking entry: it has under a sixth of China's population and is closing the gap on China's daily births.

At the other end, Norway records about 137 births a day, Ireland about 151, New Zealand about 159. A whole day of births in Norway is about twelve minutes of births in India.

This is also the number that makes the site's live counters work. Each country page runs its own counter at its own birth rate, which is why Nigeria's visibly climbs while Norway's barely moves.
