BBC Human Resource Number Calculator and UN Population Data

The BBC released a "Human Resource Number Calculator" based on United Nations Population Fund data to coincide with the global population reaching 7 billion. Users input their birth dates to receive a specific number representing their place in human history. The tool includes a "hockey stick" growth graph, which some interpret as a pessimistic view of global population sustainability.
