Population Share Calculator
Turn any cohort number into a share of a country or of the world, plus the one-in-every-N figure that makes it legible.
Generation Alpha at 2.01 billion is about 24% of the world's 8.23 billion people — roughly one person in four, with 6.22 billion in every other cohort combined.
