This is one of the main indicators of demographic development. Below is a table of the population of the countries of the world in 2019.

Important Aspects

To calculate the number of people in the world, statistics are used that are provided by national institutions and international organizations under the influence of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).

Each year, the United Nations publishes data on the number of people on earth in a specific report.

Population values in different states are constantly changing, while UN reports are generally issued with a delay of several years, since the data need to be internationally compared after printing the data by national statistical services.

According to expert data, today the world's population is approximately 7.6 billion people. In the past century, the natural increase on earth was three times greater than in all periods before.

But over the past few decades, this value has been declining. It is worth noting that the UN predicts an increase in the world population to 11 billion people by 2088.

Top states by years

Speaking about the population of the countries of the world, it is necessary to take into account the fact that today the processes of population migration are actively taking place in the world.

Some do it because of the unstable political situation, others because of unsuitable natural conditions, someone just wants to change their country of residence.

Nevertheless, analyzing the situation in general, we can conclude that China and India are leading in terms of the number of inhabitants.

Approximately 35% of the world's population lives in these countries. The high birth rate is maintained due to the high level of development of life, stability in all spheres of society.

The next place is the United States of America. Followed by Indonesia, Pakistan, Brazil, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Russian Federation. Japan closes the top ten countries.

Since many states conduct population censuses very infrequently, information is provided according to the latest updated data.

The table of world population in recent years is presented below:

The name of the country	Population 2017-2018	Population 2014-2016
China	1 389 672 000	1 374 440 000
India	1 349 271 000	1 283 370 000
United States	327 673 000	322 694 000

Russia	146 804 372	146 544 710
Japan	126 700 000	127 130 000

Some of the islands of Great Britain, France and New Zealand have the smallest population.

Pitcairn Islands - 49, Vatican City - 842, Tokelau - 1383, Niue - 1612, Falkland Islands - 2912, Saint Helena - 3956, Montserrat - 5154, Saint Pierre and Miquelon - 6301, Saint Barthélemy - 9417 people.

On the African continent, among the leaders in terms of population after Nigeria, one can single out Ethiopia - 90,076,012, Egypt - 89,935,000, Congo - 81,680,000, the Republic of South Africa - 51,770,560, Tanzania - 43,188,000, Sudan - 42,749,000 , Kenya - 45,010,056, Algeria - 37,100,000, Uganda - 35,620,977 people.

Closes the thirty largest countries in terms of the number of people in Africa Guinea - 10,481,000, Somalia - 9,797,000, Benin - 9,352,000 people.

By GDP per capita

Gross domestic product is the amount of goods and services produced in a particular country. This indicator is determined in dollars, since this currency is the leading one in the world.

To calculate GDP per capita, the total GDP is divided by the number of inhabitants of the country.

Today, the leading countries in terms of GDP per capita are:

USA with a GDP of 18.1247 trillion dollars	Such a large amount of GDP was formed thanks to the national monetary unit of the United States - the dollar. Credit should also be given to organizations such as Microsoft and Google. Each year, the state's gross domestic product increases by about 2.2%. GDP per person in America is $55,000
China has a GDP level of $11.2119 trillion	China is on the list of leaders in economic development in the world. Annually, there is an increase in GDP in the country by 10%. This is well ahead of the rate of increase in this indicator in the United States. Therefore, China has every chance to take first place in the world.
Japan is in third place	The size of the GDP of this state is 4.2104 trillion dollars. In accordance with the statistics, there is an annual increase of 1.5%. This is realized through the production and marketing of technological goods, computers and electrical engineering. GDP per person is 39 thousand dollars
Germany is next with a GDP of $3413.5 trillion.	This figure is growing due to the sale of German cars, household appliances, production equipment. The increase in GDP, on average, is 0.4% per year. The value of GDP per capita is 46 thousand dollars
The United Kingdom is in fifth place.	Which has a GDP level of 2853.4 trillion dollars, which made it possible for the state to overtake France

Density

The population density index characterizes the number of citizens per 1 sq. km. km. This value is determined without taking into account water areas and uninhabited places. In addition to the overall density, this indicator is also calculated for villages and cities separately.

It should be noted that the number of people on earth is unevenly distributed. Therefore, the figures vary greatly from country to country.

According to the population density, 4 types of states can be identified:

The states of Asia, Africa and Europe stand out with the highest density, where 6 of the 7 billion inhabitants of the planet are concentrated. The territory of the state does not affect the density of people.

According to the results of statistical data, it can be concluded that seven percent of the world's territory is occupied by 70% of the total number of people on earth.

The average population density is 40 million people per square kilometer. km. In certain areas, this value can be up to two thousand people per square meter. km, and on some - one person per sq. km.

Among the states with the lowest population density are Australia, Namibia, Libya, Mongolia, Greenland, Belgium, Great Britain, Korea, Lebanon, the Netherlands, El Salvador and others.

Video: the world in numbers

Iraq, Malaysia, Tunisia, Mexico, Morocco, and Ireland have an average population density. The Russian Federation, in turn, can be attributed to states with low density, regardless of the area of the country.

Our state is the most large in area, but if you look at the map differently? Imagine: a map of the world, in which the largest countries will occupy the largest place.

Everyone knows that the population of India and China is numerous. But is the population density of the countries of the world different from the ranking of the largest of them? At the same time, let's see what place it occupies in different ratings.

In contact with

Most populated regions

China. He has long and rightfully won the palm, lives here 1.384 billion people. This is more than 18% of the world's population.
The second largest is India, and there is a little less - 1.318 billion people. In shares, this is 17.5% of the number of people on Earth.
In third place, they entrenched with a huge backlog. 4.3% live here, and the population is approximately 325 million people- not even a quarter of the people of China are going to.
Next up is Indonesia. 261.6 million people make up 3.55% of the population.
Brazil, with 207.7 million people, rounds out the top five.
Next comes Pakistan, lives here 197.8 million people.
Nigeria is in seventh place with 188.5 million people.
Bangladesh is home to 162.8 million people.
Ninth place in this ranking is occupied by Russia, we live 146.4 million people. This is 1.95% of the inhabitants of the planet.
And Japan closes this ranking of countries with 126.7 million people.

Well here is a list that lists the most populated countries in the world. In it, the combined population of India and China is more than a third of the total population of the globe.

The most populous Chinese city of Chongqing, more than 53,200,000 people live here. And this is more than lives, for example, in Ukraine or Saudi Arabia.
Shanghai, with its rural suburbs, is home to over 24,200,000 people.
The third in this list was the city of Karachi, a port in Pakistan - 23.5.
The capital of China, Beijing, occupies only the fourth line - 21.5.
This list includes another capital - Delhi, with a population of 16.3 million people. Actually, the capital of India is New Delhi, but this city is part of the Delhi metropolis.
The African city of Lagos is the largest port in Nigeria - 15.1.
In Istanbul - 13.8.
Tokyo - 13.7.
The fourth largest city in China, Guangzhou - 13.1.
Closes this list is another Indian city - Mumbai - 12.5 million people.

Moscow is not included in the TOP-10, it occupies 11th place in this list. Together, these cities are home to more than 200 million people, and each of them is comparable in number to some states.

Chongqing city

Density ranking

The population density of the countries of the world is also an important indicator. But states can be compared not only by the number of people who live in it, but also by how densely they populate their territory. And here is a ranking that shows what place the largest countries in the world occupy in terms of density:

Monaco. In this city-state, whose area is 2.02 km2, 37731 people live. And there are 18679 people per 1 square kilometer. This is the largest population density in the world.
Singapore is in second place by a wide margin. The area of this city-state is 719 km2, and 5.3 million people live here, which gives a density 7389 people per km2. This is almost 2.5 times less than in Monaco.
Third place is occupied by another city-state, with the smallest territory in the world. The Vatican accommodated 842 people on its 0.44 km2. And their density is 1914 people per km2.
Bahrain is located here, on the territory of which more than 1.3 million people live and the density is 1753 people per km2.
The population density of Malta is 1432 people per km2.
Maldives, on these islands the population density is 1359 people per km2.
Another Asian state is Bangladesh, the density is 1154 people per km2.
Barbados, in this small state, the density is 663 people per km2.
Republic of China, do not confuse this country with China, is a small island nation which is often referred to as Taiwan, has a density of 648 people per km2.
And Mauritius closes the top ten - 635 people per km2.

First world countries

Many scientists divide states into several groups according to their level of development. And this division has already taken root in everyday life. The countries of the first world are those that have a high scientific and economic potential, a developed economy, as well as high quality of life citizens.

They have a downward trend. Also, many studies suggest that their population is “aging”. This means that fewer children are being born, and life expectancy is increasing, and therefore they increasing proportion of older people.

If we talk about the largest states in this category, then they include the USA, Japan, Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Canada. What place do they occupy in their own ranking, if we compare them with each other in terms of population?

Interesting! Of these, only the USA and Japan are in the TOP-10 largest in terms of numbers. Germany and the UK are in the top twenty, the rest are only among the fifty largest states by population.

And if the rest of the first world countries do not have a high place in the ranking in terms of the number of people living in the territory, then The US is markedly different., being in third place in the list of countries in terms of population. As we said, they are in third place. They achieved this position due to the fact that they have a large territory, and Mexico is located nearby, from where many migrants come.

Well, in general, the reputation of the United States as a territory of great opportunities has always made it attractive to various migrants. Therefore, the US is very polyethnic in composition. And in many large cities there are entire neighborhoods in which people from one region live, completely preserving their traditions, customs, culture, religion and language.

Number of Russia

We learned what place our country occupies in the list of the largest in terms of population. Russia, despite the downward trend in population, continues to be one of the largest on the world map. At the same time, the density of living is very low - only 8.56 people per 1 km2. According to this indicator, the Russian Federation is far beyond even the first hundred of the most densely populated territories. In comparison, for example, with Japan, our homeland is simply deserted, especially the regions in Siberia, the Far East and the Far North.

It is enough to imagine that the territory of Japan is approximately equal to the Amur region. At the same time, 126 million people live in it, and 809.8 thousand live in the Amur Region.

Interesting! Thus, Russia is characterized by an uneven distribution of living people, the main part lives in the central and southern parts, and all of Siberia and the Far East are practically uninhabited.

Residents are one of the main participants in social production. People work and produce, changing the environment, and also consume what they have produced. That's how the economy works. And in countries where the number of citizens is small or unevenly distributed, the economy will also develop unevenly. And this affects her overall standard of living.

But not always big. size is an advantage. For example, despite the fact that the population of India and China is very large, they cannot be called prosperous and prosperous.

Top 10 Largest Countries by Population

Conclusion

The population density of the countries of the world does not coincide with the ranking of the largest states, you can be a small state, but very densely populated, such as Monaco.

Here are some interesting figures about the population of the world, we can give you. Such a study is very interesting, it allows you to compare and find out what place different regions of the planet occupy.

Brazil completes the top five most populated countries with 210,147,125 people.

The urban population of Brazil is 84%, rural - 16%. The famous Rio de Janeiro is home to 11 million people, Sao Paulo -19 million. These are the two largest federal centers of the country.

A feature of the Brazilian population is the fact that 50% of Brazilians are foreigners in the first or second generation. In the north of the country, there is a greater influence of immigrants from Portugal and representatives of African tribes. The more livable south and southeast are inhabited by Brazilians with German, Italian and Japanese roots.

The Republic of Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world with 266,357,297 people.

It is located in Southeast Asia, the country's territory is spread over 13 thousand islands. Many small islands don't even have a name! The most densely populated of them are Java and Madura. 58% of the population living in the country is concentrated here, and every sixth inhabitant is in Java. There are about 300 ethnic groups in the Republic, the most numerous are Javanese, Sunds, Minangkabau, Toba-Bataki and Acehs (Sumatra), Balinese (Bali).

The structure of the family of Indonesians is curious. Since there are a huge number of different ethnic groups in the country, family traditions also have fundamental differences. If an ordinary Javanese family consists of 2 parents and children, shows everyday independence and does not maintain contact with relatives, then the Balinese, on the contrary, respect close family ties. The Balinese family is a complex structure: in addition to parents, it includes families of several brothers with wives and numerous children.

In 2018, the population of the United States of America was 325,145,963 people. In terms of territory, this is the fourth state in the world, in terms of population - the third. The population of America is a mixture of various ethnic groups and races. Here they speak different languages, profess all world religions, you can talk endlessly about the diversity of nationalities of the inhabitants of the United States.

Initially, the indigenous people, the natives of the country, were Indians, of whom there were more than 3 million. In the XVI-XVII centuries, the first colonies of Europeans appeared, mainly English, Scots and Irish. Later, representatives of Sweden, France and other European countries appeared. At the same time, representatives of African Americans (Negroes) appeared as slaves.

Today, the United States is a multinational country, in which 80% of the white race, 12% of African Americans live, the share of other races (Asians, Indians, Eskimos) accounts for 5%. Every year, the US population is replenished by 0.5 million people who come in search of a better life. The USA is the most urbanized state, the share of city dwellers in the total number is 77%.
One of the interesting facts is the number of Russian-speaking residents - 700 thousand people!

The trends of recent years suggest that by 2030 China may lose the lead in terms of population to India. As of July 2013, the population of this country is 1.220.800.359 people. Over the past hundred years, India's population growth has exceeded China's by 50 million!

Considering that the territory of India occupies only 2.4% of the world area, it has concentrated 17.5% of the world's population, that is, this share of such states as: the USA, Pakistan, Indonesia, Brazil, Japan in total. The population density of India exceeds the world average by almost 8 times!

Interesting:

The current population of India is very young: more than 50% of Indians are under 25 years of age. The birth rate in India is the highest among the countries of the world. For every thousand inhabitants, there are 22 births of children, and the death rate is no more than 6 people.

The most recent data give a figure - 1,430,075,000 people who inhabit the People's Republic of China. This number indicates that every fourth inhabitant of the planet is of Chinese origin.

Why are the Chinese the most numerous nation?

Let's start with the fact that China has more than 5,000 years of existence. The traditions of many nations value large families. But only in China, since the time of Confucius, raising many children in the family (especially boys) was elevated to a cult and was considered the main achievement and happiness for a man.

Since the coming to power of the Communist Party, this principle has received active nourishment. The party leadership relied on huge labor resources. In 1980, demographic problems worsened in China, and the birth of a second and subsequent children was severely punished at the state level (a fine of more than $ 3,500).

Today, the population of the country has slowed down the rate of population growth, and the bias has begun in the other direction - it has noticeably aged. An only child cannot ensure a decent old age for his aged parents and 4 grandparents (a very limited circle of people receives pensions in China). This sad fact violates the centuries-old traditions of China.

Our planet is rich in a variety of ethnic groups, languages, cultures. There are much fewer countries in the world, but their number is quite large. This article will provide a list of countries in the world by population and territorial area. There is no need to list all the countries of the world, so only the top 10 countries according to these indicators will be given here.

by population

The top ten countries in terms of the number of people living in them include:

China (PRC). In 2017, about 1 billion 385 million people live in this country. For a long time, this country has occupied the top position in terms of population.
India. The country has already reached 1 billion 345 million inhabitants, which is only slightly less than in China. Considering that population growth in India is much higher than in China, in a few years India will take the leading place in the world.
USA. Today, about 326 million people live in this country. its much higher than in Europe, but not as high as in third world countries. The increase is due not only to a high birth rate, but also to a large influx of immigrants.
Indonesia (264 million people). This Asian country today occupies the 4th position in terms of population. In addition, the population growth here is quite high, as in all of Southeast Asia.

Pakistan, with about 208 million people, is a very poor state, but the population growth here is very high due to the high birth rate.
Brazil, with a population of 207 million, recently ranked 5th, but not so long ago, Pakistan overtook it. Moreover, in Brazil itself, the population growth rate is also quite high.
Nigeria (192 million inhabitants). Another country with an incredibly high population growth rate, so in the next few years, this country is also likely to push Brazil on this list.
Bangladesh (160 million) is the poorest state in the list of countries in the world, but this does not prevent the country's population from growing at an unprecedented pace.
Russia today has about 146 million inhabitants. For a long time in the Russian Federation there was a negative population growth, but not so long ago this figure began to increase slightly.
Mexico (130 million people). This country has only recently entered the list of countries with the largest population, overtaking Japan. This is due to high population growth in Mexico and low in Japan.

List of countries in the world by area

Unlike the list above, this one hasn't changed in a long time.

There is no need to list the countries of the world in alphabetical order and give it in this article, so the top 10 countries by territory will be presented here:

Russia (17.1 million sq. km). From the very moment of its formation, the Russian Federation began to take first place in the world in terms of area.
Canada (9.98 million sq. km). Although the area of \u200b\u200bthis state is the second in the list of countries in the world, but in comparison with Russia, it is almost half that.
China with an area of 9.6 million square meters. km stands today on the 3rd position in this list.
The USA has an area of about 9.52 million sq. km, which is almost the same as that of China.
Brazil, in fifth place, has an area of approximately 8.5 million square kilometers. km.
Australia (7.7) occupies an entire continent and is one of the largest states in the world.
India (3.3). Compared to all of the above countries, India seems quite small.
Argentina with an area of 2.78 million sq. km is the second in Latin America.
Kazakhstan (2.72) has the longest land border with Russia.
Algeria (2.4) is the largest state on the African continent.

Many are interested in how many countries in the world. The list of all sovereign states for 2017 is about 230 states. In addition to them, there are self-proclaimed, semi-sovereign countries, etc.

The alphabetical list of countries of the world is not of particular interest, since it does not carry any specific information about the country itself. If you compare the above countries of the world in the lists (photo below), you can understand a lot about them. For example, their dense population, territorial wealth and natural potential.
