      Hi @chismchism,

      A quick google search suggests anywhere between 2-20 but the general consensus of 4 a second. This number will however vary greatly between developed and non-developed countries. As will the number of babies which survive their infancy and the number of deaths per second and hence the net population increase.

      Thanks!

      Lisa
