Right now how many kids are there around the world?

LEVEL: Primary / Intermediate

We thought this was a really interesting question! But, it all depends on what you mean by 'kids' - we thought about it and decided to search Google for world population under 18.

Some of the sites we found are:

• Wikipedia: World population - scroll down for demographics of youth. Remember, anyone can edit wikipedia, so you have to check the information found there against other sites and books.
• Population Reference Bureau - scroll down the list for relevant entries, like population age <15 or Youth Ages
