Global Human Vital Rates Data 

Age-specific (per year) numbers of human females, males, mortality and fertility rates. Ages 1-100. Number and mortalities from WHO-CHOICE project (https://www.who.int/news-room/questions-and-answers/item/who-choice-frequently-asked-questions) and fertility derived from U.S. Census Bureau International Data Base (https://www.census.gov/data-tools/demo/idb/). 

We at TERN acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians throughout Australia, New Zealand and all nations. We honour their profound connections to land, water, biodiversity and culture and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. 

The planets large, growing and over-consuming human population is rapidly eroding the Earths natural ecosystems. Societys only real policy lever to reduce the human population humanely is to encourage lower per-capita fertility. But how long will reducing fertility take to reduce the human population size? We used population models to project the global human population to 2100, adjusting fertility and mortality rates to determine possible outcomes for 2100. Even draconian one-child policies imposed worldwide, and drastic mortality events arising from wars or disease, will still result in 5-10 billion people by 2100. Due to this demographic momentum, there are no easy policy levers to change the broad trends of human population size this century. 

Human population censuses. Standard human demographic analysis. All methods outlined here (www.census.gov/population/international/data/idb) and here (www.who.int/choice). Would require an entire textbook to describe here. Data fields include: age (years); number of males (mal.N); number of females (fem.N); age-specific male mortality rate (mal.M); age-specific female mortality rate (fem.M); number of males born per female (mal.m); number of females born per female (fem.m)
