The table illustrates the distribution of global population between 1950 and 2000, with a forecast in 2050. Overall, the most noticeable change was a drastic increase of the world population over 50 years and it is predicted to grow continuously over the next half-century. On the other hand, most of the population come from Asia while people who live in Oceania has the lowest percentage. The most significant change was the 2000’s world population which is more than twofold in 1950 from 2. 5 billion to 6. 0 billion and the population is predicted to rise to 9 billion over the next 50 years. Regarding the population distribution in 1950, nowhere compared to Asia with dominantly more than half of the percentage. Europe was the second most populated continent that constituted to 22 percent while Africa, Latin & North America are just below one-tenth and made up 9%, 6% and 7% respectively.

The proportion of the European population fell by 10%. Although Latin America was still below one-tenth but it jumped to 9% while North America reduced by 2%.
Predicting the next half-century, only Africa’s population is forecast to grow over the next 50 years with an increase of 7%. The percentage of the rest of the areas are predicted to reduce. Asia will experience a drop by only 1%. Moreover, Europe and North America will continuously decline by 5% and 1% respectively. Latin America will remain constant. Finally, throughout the period from 1950 to 2050, Oceania has remained steady with the lowest percentage not over 1%.
