What the numbers show

The highest annual births in Guinea-Bissau among estimates through 2023 were in 2023, at about 64.7K. That is roughly 139 times the estimated ~464 births a year in 1 CE.

Where these numbers come from

2026 figures are the UN World Population Prospects 2024 medium scenario. UN estimates cover 1950–2023; projections cover 2024–2100. Earlier years come from Gapminder’s reconstructions (1800–1949) and a model applied to HYDE population estimates (before 1800). The full chain is set out in the methodology, and every source is listed on the sources page.
