Because this is a global estimate, the counter uses an average pace. Real births do not happen evenly every second.

Why the births today number changes

The page converts a large annual birth estimate into a live daily counter.

Births today is an estimate of how many babies are born worldwide during the current UTC day. The counter starts at zero at UTC midnight and rises every second.

Pulse Of Globe uses an annual birth baseline and divides it across the number of seconds in the year. This creates an easy-to-read live counter that explains the pace of global births.

To compare births with deaths and total population change, open real-time world statistics or the current world population counter.
