The table describes the world's changes in terms of population and distribution among six continents from 1950 to 2050.
Generally, the world's population will reach its peak in the year 2050. While other areas' figures have been witnessed specific ups and downs, Oceania maintained a consistent number of people throughout the years.
With an estimated 9 billion people, the world population has almost quadrupled in over 100 years, starting from only 2. 5 billion. Since 1950, Asian people have always been contributed at least 56% to the overall population, making it the number 1 crowded region worldwide, followed by the Europeans, at about 22%. Their contribution saw a downward streak in the following decades, where they reached their bottom at approximately 7% in 2050.
From the beginning, Africa's population experienced constant growth and ended with one-fifth of the total number, whereas North America's figure decreased fairly, about 1% to 2% every 50 years. There was a general similarity in the increasing of citizens in Latin America and Oceania. Both continents have a low population rate, less than 10%, and their figures have not altered since the 2000s.
