The pie charts below give information about world population in 1900 and 2000. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. v.2

The two pie charts illustrate the global population percentagewise over the duration of a century, from 1900 to 2000. Overall, Asia comprises the most of the world' s population both at the beginning and at the end of the period. In contrast, other countries contribute the least percentage to the global statistic. The total figure by the end of the century grows several-fold. In 1900, Asia constitutes 60% of the global population, the largest region to do so. However, this figure declines slightly by 6% over the next hundred years. Europe, despite making up a quarter of the population at the beginning of the period, suffers the most significant drop over time, hitting a low of 14%. North America and other countries experience no change in numbers, remaining constant at 5 and 3%, respectively. On the other hand, Africa' s contribution to the worldwide statistic increases from 4 to 10% by the end of the century, as did Latin America' s. Interestingly, by 2000, the Middle East and North Africa account for 6% of the planet' s populace, a figure that is notably absent in 1900. The total population rises drastically from 1. 6 to 6 billion by the beginning of the 21st century.
