The tables below reveal the data about the world population and the share of the population in different parts of the world in 1950 and 2000. They also foretell the figure for the year 2050. It can be clearly seen that the dwellers of our planet increased by 3.5 billion and reached 6 billion over this span of 50 years.

According to the information given by the table, the substantial proportion of the world population lived in Asia (56%) followed by 22% for Europe, 9% for Africa while the lowest portion dwelled in Oceania (under 1%) in 1650. After 50 years, the population of Asia climbed up 60% and the same figure for Africa rose from 9% to 13%. Over this period, the inhabitants of Europe and North America decreased by 10% and 2% respectively, in other words 12% of the world population lived in Europe in 2000, while only 5% lived in North America. In 2000 the settlers of Latin America increased by 3% and reached 9%.

The tables predict that the world population will hit the peak by 9 billion in 2050. In the same year Asia will be on the top of the list too and it will outnumber Africa by 59% to 20%, while the same figure for Latin America, North America and Oceania will maintain stability (around 9%, 4% and 1% respectively). Furthermore, the population of Europe will continue to drop and the figure will fall 7%.
