What it cannot tell you
A global average applied to a single minute. Real births cluster by time of day and by country, and the true figure for any given minute varies around this number rather than matching it.
Full derivation on the methodology page. Where we model a figure rather than cite a published one, we say so — please do not present model output as a measured statistic.
