Daylight saving time (DST) or summer time is the practice of advancing clocks during the summer months that have more sunlight so that people get up later in the morning and go to bed later at night. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in the autumn.

The modern idea of daylight saving was first proposed in 1895 by George Vernon Hudson, and it was first implemented by Germany and Austria-Hungary starting on 30 April 1916. Many countries have used it at various times since then, most consistently since the energy crisis of the 1970s.

DaylightSaving-World-Subdivisions

The practice has been both advocated and criticized. Putting clocks back benefits retailing, sports, and other activities that exploit sunlight after working hours, but can cause problems for evening entertainment and other activities tied to the sun (such as farming) or to darkness (such as firework shows). Although an early goal of DST was to reduce evening use of incandescent lighting (formerly a primary use of electricity), modern heating and cooling usage patterns differ greatly, and research about how DST currently affects energy use is limited or contradictory.

Other problems sometimes caused by DST clock shifts are: they complicate timekeeping, and can disrupt meetings, travel, billing, record keeping, medical devices, heavy equipment, and sleep patterns. Software can often adjust computer clocks automatically, but this can be limited and error-prone, particularly when DST dates are changed.

Know : World Population List and Facts

What is the Total Population of the World?

Check out the list below, but here are some interesting facts about Population

World population refers to the total number of humans living in the world. The world population has been on a constant rise since the Great Famine and Black Death ended in 1350. With more humans born every year than dead, the earth is under increasing pressure to provide for their sustenance. Census is the exercise of counting the number of individuals living in a country. It is held by every country separately at regular intervals. The census come out with interesting facts and figures and some of them are listed below:

1. The world population is estimated to be more than 7.08 billion according the report of USCB (United States Census Bureau).

2. The highest growth rate of world population, ever recorded, was 2.2% back in 1963.

3. The rate of growth of world population reached its lowest level in recorded history during 2011 when it was just 1.1%.

4. The continent with highest population is Asia that accounts for 60% of world’s population. It has 4.2 billion inhabitants.

5. Antarctica is the only continent that does not have permanent inhabitants. Its population varies depending on the number of polar stations established there.

6. China is the most populous country of the world closely followed by India. China has a population of 1.35 billion whereas India closely follows it with a population of 1.21 billion. They, together, are home to 37% of world’s population.

7. Singapore is the most densely populated country of the world housing more than 7300 persons in an area of 1 square kilometer.

8. It is estimated that it took almost 123 years for the world’s population to reach 2 billion mark in 1927 from 1 billion in 1804 whereas it took only 13 years to reach 7 billion in 2012 form 6 billion in 1999.

9. The global sex ratio is 1010 males per 1000 females. This gender imbalance has been because of the severe imbalances present in Indian and Chinese populations.

10. The average life expectancy of the global population is 65.07 years. This means that an individual, on an average, dies at an age of 65.07 years.

11. Women have higher life expectancy of 69 years as compared to men who, on an average, live for only 65 years.

12. If the average weight of a person is considered to be 140 pounds then the total weight of the entire global population is estimated to be 287 million tonnes.

13. 12.44% of world’s population speaks Mandarin making it the most spoken language of the world. Mandarin is followed by Spanish (4.85%) and English (4.83%).

14. The global literacy rate is 85%. This means that 85 out of 100 people of the world which are aged 15 or more can read and write.

15. The number of individuals with age less than 15 years constitute 26.3% of the total population whereas those aged between 15 and 64 have a 65.9% share of the global .population. 7.9% of the world population has an age of 65 years or above.
