On the occasion of the New Year starting, humanitarian and developmental aid organisation UNICEF made an estimation on babies, expected to take birth globally on January 1.
The UNICEF estimated that, on January 1, 3.7 babies are expected to take birth, while 60,000 babies are expected to be born in India alone.
To come up with such estimations, UNICEF studied the annual live births numbers and period life expectancy published in the 2019 edition of the UN's World Population Prospects
As per the estimations, 10 countries account for more than half of the babies expected to be born today. Out of the ten countries, India is at the top position with 59,995 expected births.
After India, dragon country is in second place in the expected births with 35,615 new babies, followed by Nigeria (21,439), and Pakistan (14,161), (12,336), Ethiopia (12,006), the United States (10,312), Egypt(9,455), Bangladesh (9,236) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (8,640).
On the other hand, nearly 140 million children are expected to be born in 2021. The average life expectancy of these babies has increased compared to the previous edition. The babies born in 2021 are expected to have an average life expectancy of 84 years.
Talking about the same, UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore said, the work of UNICEF is going to be more difficult, as the babies enter the world affected by the pandemic.
