In 2022 world population estimates reached 8 billion; that is 8 thousand million. Back in 1973, so only 50 years ago, the population was around 4 billion. The biggest decline between 1973 and 2022 in population has happened in Ukraine (2.8 Million), followed by Bulgaria (1.2 million), Georgia (1 million), Hungary (458,000) and Romania (408,000). Between 1973 and 2022 the biggest absolute growth happened in India (more than 660 Million), followed by China (almost 475 Million), Pakistan (135 Million), Indonesia (122 Million) and the USA (107 Million). Nigeria, Brazil, Bangladesh, Ethiopia and Mexico complete the top 10. The highest growth rate is noted in United Arab Emirates (6.2%), Qatar (5.2%), Mayotte (4.3 %), Turks and Caicos (4%) and Western Sahara (4%).

This map shows the land surface resized by its population. Each territory in the map is proportional to the total number of people living in that area in 1973.

Population Decline 2011 to 2022

In 2022 world population estimates reached 8 billion; that is 8 thousand million. Most of the people still live in China, followed by India, the United States of America. Indonesia and Pakistan complete the top 5. The image is expected to change in this century: China is feeling the impact of its one-child-policy and will be overtaken by India in total population numbers, Nigeria will be on third place. The major shift in growing world population will will be from Asia to Africa and Nigeria is expected to be the country with the biggest population in the next century. Between 2011 and 2022 the biggest absolute growth happened in India (almost 160 Million), followed by China (almost 70 Million), Nigeria (53 Million), Pakistan (37 Million) and Ethiopia (31 Million). The highest growth rate are noted in Jordan (4%), Niger (3.8%), Mayotte (3.6 %), Qatar (3.6%) and Angola (3.4%) The biggest decline in population has happened in Ukraine (5.8 Million), followed by Japan (4 Million), Italy (almost 1 Million), Venezuela (800.000) and Bulgaria (760.000). Reasons for that vary between war (Ukraine), political crisis (Venezuela) and ageing population (Japan).

Population Year 2022

In 2022 world population estimates reached 8 billion; that is 8 thousand million. Most of the people still live in China, followed by India, the United States of America. Indonesia and Pakistan. The image shown here is expected to change in this century: China is feeling the impact of its one-child-policy and will be soon overtaken by India in total population numbers, Nigeria will take over the USA to become the third-most populated country. Global population growth has started shifting away from Asia towards the African continent, with Nigeria's ongoing growth being a main symbol for the continent's future young generations, while many other regions of the world started seeing stagnating or even declining population numbers, along with new demographic challenges such as a declining workforce and ageing societies.

Internally Displaced Persons 2018

While refugees are very visible in the public debate, the fate of internally displaced people is often much less talked about. According to the UN Refugee Agency UNHCR, “Internally displaced people (IDPs) have not crossed a border to find safety.” Unlike refugees, they are therefore forcibly moving within their home country. The reasons for fleeing their homes are often the same as those of refugees, such as disaster, conflict and violence. This makes internally displaced people equally if not more vulnerable since they remain within the country of where the conflicts or other causes of their displacement are.

The numbers of internal displacements are not insignificant: In 2018 UNHCR estimated a total of 41.4 million internally displaced people around the world, which is more than double the number of refugees (that are crossing a country border). Internally displaced people are the largest group of the 74.8 million persons of concern, but – just like the 2.8 million stateless people – these groups of vulnerable people are much more distant in our perception. They are much more distant than the much smaller number of refugees that manages to reach the shores of Europe making politicians feel obliged to act. But as the UNHCR states, internally displaced people are among the most vulnerable in the world because they often are located in areas where humanitarian assistance is difficult to deliver. 45% of all internally displaced persons are living in only three countries: Colombia, Syria and North Korea.
