Global balance

How population and demographic change are distributed across the world.

World population (current)
8,231,613,000
World growth rate (weighted)
0.00%
Interpretation
Growth rates are population-weighted and based on the latest available indicators. Annual change is estimated as population × growth rate.

Distribution by world region

Population size, share of the world total, and estimated annual change by region.

Region Population Share of world Growth rate Annual change (est.) Countries
Asia 4,835,295,000 58.7% 0.00% 0 51
Africa 1,549,840,000 18.8% 0.00% 0 58
Americas 1,055,385,000 12.8% 0.00% 0 55
Europe 744,377,000 9.0% 0.00% 0 49
Oceania 46,599,000 0.6% 0.00% 0 23
Methodology: Regions are derived from country-to-region assignment. Shares are computed against world population. Annual change is an estimate based on current population and growth rate.
