    Abstract:
    According to Population Reference Bureau estimates, the world's population stood at 5,062,000,000 in November 1987, with an annual growth of 87,000,000. The US population was estimated to be 243,571,000 as of June 1, 1987 compared with 241,403,000 1 year earlier. In 1987 in the US, there were 3,767,000 live births (15.5 rate), 2,103,000 deaths (8.7), a natural increase of 1,664,000 (6.8), 2,438,000 marriages (10.1), 1,166,000 divorces (4.8), and 38,100 infant deaths (10.1). Compared with 1984, 1986 rates have declined in the US for natural increase, marriages, divorces and infant mortality. The mortality rate has increased slightly, while the live birth rate was the same in 1984 and 1987.
