Answer 1

According to the Oxford Dictionary, the human “population” terms is used to describe all the inhabitants of a particular town, area, or country. World human population refers to the total number of people that inhabit the Earth. As of 2018, the World’s population is estimated at 7.6 billion by the United States Census Bureau, who claims it will grow to number 7.98 billion in 2025 and 9.38 billion in 2050, which translates into a growth of 12.2 percent and 31.9 percent respectively. More than half of the World’s population – about 60 percent – is located in Asia. Africa is home to 15 percent of the World’s population, while 11 percent, 8.6 percent and 5 percent are located in Europe, Latin America/Caribbean, and North America respectively.

Moving over to countries, there are only two that number more than one billion people and only three more are home to more than 200 million inhabitants each. China and India, who are most populous nations on Earth, account for more than one third of the total population – 36 percent – and host more people than Africa, Europe, Latin America and Oceania put together. But let’s leave the big picture aside for a few moments and have a look at the World’s five most populous countries, their location and population-related statistics and projections.
