The human species has topped 8 billion , with longer lifespans offsetting fewer births , but world population growth continues a long-term trend of slowing down , the U.S. Census Bureau said Thursday.
The discrepancy is due to countries counting people differently — or not at all. Many lack systems to record births and deaths. Some of the most populous countries, such as India and Nigeria, haven't conducted censuses in over a decade, according to the bureau. Countries such as Canada have been aging with declining older-age mortality, while countries such as Nigeria have seen dramatic declines in deaths of children under 5.
