World Population

This PowerPoint is associated with population statistics of the world and how

population is dispersed throughout this world.

Current population

• At some point during last year the 7th Billion person was born on this Earth.

• As of this week the current population of the World is somewhere in the neighborhood of:

7,211,000,000

http://galen.metapath.org/popclk.html

That means approximately:

• Total births per second: 4.2 • Total deaths per second: 1.8 • Net growth: 2.37 per second

• If we look at a world map… we all have and idea of what it looks like and we know that the largest continent is Asia but do you know that he largest countries are Russia followed by Canada, China and the US in land area.

• But….if we look it a world adjusted population map, it looks like this:

That means:

• Although Asia has 30% of the world land area…..on that land is 61% of the worlds population.– 17.4 million sq. mi.– 3.879 billion people

* In other words….. every 6 out of 10 people live in Asia

Comparison

• In retrospect the US has 3,679,192 sq. mi……6.5% of the worlds land area

• ….yet with a population of 312,983,800 (the world 3rd largest country) it only has 22% of the worlds population.

Population density

• Population density is: population/land area• The result is the number of people per square

mile.• Demographics is understanding the

relationships of population between different areas.
