Odds of being born in each country

Pick one of the 132,503,453 babies born in the world this year at random. This is where they were born.

1 in 6 are born in India, the single most likely answer

29.68% of the world's babies are born in just India, China, Nigeria

0.640% is all 100 of the smallest countries and areas put together

Every figure is the 2026 medium variant of the UN World Population Prospects 2024, covering all 237 countries and areas the UN lists — so the shares add up to the whole world, with no "other" bucket. The births columns are the odds the globe uses by default; the population columns answer the other question, picking one person alive today rather than one baby born this year. How the draw works →
