The file

Annual population change, percent. Same geos as Population.

The indicator

SP.POP.GROW mixes births, deaths, and migration. The percent alone does not say which — use Fertility and Net migration.

What the numbers show

Poland is already negative (~−0.3% in 2025). Germany is near zero. The US ~0.5%, the world ~0.9% — slower than the 1960s. Do not confuse this with GDP growth.
