We should keep this cartogram in mind when we are looking at charts that show country-by-country data, because we have to remember that the number of people that these charts speak about is very different from one country to the next: An increase of the life expectancyin Denmark means that the average health of 5.8 million people is increasing, whi...
The cartogram offers us many more perspectives that we can keep in mind if we want to keep an overview of the world. Here are some that stand out for me: 1. The area of Russia takes up 11% of the world’s land, and the gigantic country borders both Norway and North Korea. But Russia is home to only less than 2% of the world population and is therefo...
The cartogram below focusses on Asia and Oceania where 6 out of 10 people in the world live. 1. Within this world region the population is very unequally distributed. South-East Asia is densely populated while large countries such as Mongolia, Australia, Kazakhstan, and the Asian part of Russia are home to relatively few people. And again within co...
The population of the Americas is roughly one billion (1.015 billion). 428 million live in South America and 587 million are at home in North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. 1. The USA – the third most populous country in the world – is by far the most populous country on the American continent. Its population is roughly as large as th...
1-in-6 people in the world live in Africa. The second most-populous continent is home to almost 1.3 billion people. 1. Two countries have a population of more than 100 million: Nigeria with 195.9 million and Ethiopia with 107.5 million. 2. Population density varies hugely on the African continent. The largest African country by land area is Algeria...
711 million people live in Europe, less than 10% of the world population.5 1. Five European countries have a population that is larger than 50 million: The European part of Russia (110 m), Germany (82.3 m), the UK (66.6 m), France (65.2 m), and Italy (59.3 m). 2. Some regions of Europe are very densely populated. The Netherlands has a population de...
Another way to show where the world population lives is to show the population density of each country on a geographical world map, as you see below. The world's densely populated countries in Middle America, Europe, and South East Asia stand out – Bangladesh is the most densely-populated large country in the world, with 1,252 people per square kil...
While a geographical map is helpful if you want to find your way around the world, a population cartogram is the representation that we need if we want to know where our fellow humans are at home. If you are interested in what is happening to the world population and you are following our work on Our World in Data, I hope these cartograms are helpf...
The current world population growth is approximately 1.09%. People under 15 years of age made up over a quarter of the world population (25.18%), and people age 65 and over made up nearly ten percent (9.69%) in 2021. The world population more than tripled during the 20th century from about 1.65 billion in 1900 to 5.97 billion in 1999.
