The table depicts the changes in global population and its portions within 6

particular regions in 1950, 2000 and the estimated figure in 2050.

Overall, with a projected increase in the world’s citizens, over half of them were
Asians, as opposed to only a minimum proportion residing in Oceania. Besides,
other areas witness either an increase or decrease in their population compared to
the globe’s.
First and foremost, the number of global citizens, commencing at 2.5 billion,
nearly doubled after 50 years and expectedly rises to 9 billion in 2050.
Region-wise, up to 56% lived in Asia in 1950, which only increased by 4% in
2000. Despite an anticipated 1% drop in 2050, Asia still tops the table compared to
the other regions. Contrarily, inhabitants of Oceania only made up 1% or less of
the world’s population in all selected years.
Over 100 years, the populace of Africa is predicted to double to 20%, whereas a
3% rise might be the case for total Latin Americans, which started at 6%.
Meanwhile, it is estimated that the figure of Europe decline threefold until 2050,
from 22% to 7%. Similarly, North America may expect a 3% drop in their
population compared to the world’s after 100 years.
In conclusion, amidst a rise in global population, Asians still accounted for the
majority, unlike Oceania’s residents whose figure remained at the minimum. Other
regions’ percentage either rose or decreased over the given periods.
