Concepts of Population and World Statistics

A population is a distinct group of individuals, whether that group comprises a nation or a group of
people with a common characteristic.  On the other hand,

World population - is the total number of humans currently living in the World. As of today, the total
population of the world is around 7.93 billion people. The first billion was reached around 1800 and in
just 200 years we reached 7 billion.

(ang population ay isang natatanging grupo ng mga indibidwal, maaaring isang nasyon o grupo ng tao
na may pagkakapareho sa kanilang characteistics ang wold population naman ay ang total number ng
mga tao na naninirahan sa mundo.)

According to Population Division of United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs , these
are the main milestones:

 1 billion - 1804
 2 billion - 1927 (in 123 years)
 3 billion - 1960 (in 33 years)
 4 billion - 1974 (in 14 years)
 5 billion - 1987 (in 13 years)
 6 billion - October 12, 1999 (in 12 years)
 7 billion - October 31, 2011 (in 12 years)

World population is expected to reach 8 billion people in 2023 according to our estimates.

 Currently, the world population is increasing by more than 90 million per year.
The Global sex ratio is 1.018. It means that we have slightly more men then women. The median
age of the world's population is estimated to be 31 years in 2020 (30.3 and 31.8 for male and
female accordingly) (explanation eto)
 More than 70% of the world population live in 20 most populous countries of the world. There
are just 2 countries in the world with a population more than 1 billion people: China and India.
About 36 % of the World population live just in these two countries. Despite the fact that China is
currently the most populous country in the world, India's population growths much faster. And in
2023 India is expected to become the most populous country in the world.
(masasabing 70% sa total na population ng mundo ay naninirahan sa 20 most populous country
gaya ng china. dalwang bansa sa buong mundo ay mayroong humigit kumulang 1 bilyon ang
total population, eto ang China at India.)

More than half of the world's population identify with a religious group. The biggest groups are:
Christianity (32%) and Islam (24%).

Population of continents of earth

Out of the 7 continents of the earth, Asia with 4.64 billion inhabitants is the first at the list of the
most populous contentment in the world. 2 of the most populated countries are also from Asia these are
China and India they cover about 36% of the world population. Next is Africa with 1.34 billion. Europe
with about 747million, Latin American and Caribbean region with 653 million, North America with 368
million and lastly the least densely populated region is Oceania with 42 million. The last continent
Antarctica has a very little population, with 1200 inhabitants based in polar science station.

Meron tayong ibat-ibang uri ng pamilya ito ay ang:

 Families in rural communities welcome an extra hand to help in crop cultivation, particularly
during the planting and harvesting season. Same concept goes to the poor urban families more
children mean greater possibility for success.
 Families who are urbanized, educated and professionals with two incomes desire just one or two
progenies. (marahil alam nila kung gano kahirap kitain ang pera at kung gano kagastos ang
magpalaki ng bata, kaya isa o mas kaunti ang kanilang anak)
 Rural families view multiple children and large kinship as critical investments.
*The differing version of family determine economic and social policies that countries craft regarding
their respective populations. (ang magkakaibang bersyon ng pamilya ang nagiging determining factor
para sa economics at social policies alinsunod sa kanilang populasyon)
*Countries in the “less developed regions of the worlds” that rely on agriculture tend to maintain high-
level of population growth( ang mga bansang hindi gaanong “develop” na umaasa sa agrikultura ay
mayroon mas mataas na population growth, ito ay marahil sa kanilang paniniwala na kapag mas marami
mas mataas ang tiyansa ng pag unlad, gaya sa unang bersyon ng isang pamilya)

*According to the United Nations report on urban and rural population growth (When we say Population

amounts to around 83 million annually, or 1.1% per year) UN states that these areas contained 85 percent
of the world rural population in1975 and or projected to contain 90 percent by the end of the 20 th century
*The global agricultural population (we can define agricultural population as all the persons living on
agricultural holdings. This includes the holder, the members of his family, and all other persons living on
the holding of whatever age, sex, employment status) declined in 2011 it accounted 37 percent of the total
world population.
*Today’s population has reach 7.4 billion and it is estimated to increased 9.5 billion in 2050 , and then
11.2 by 2100.
