Population of the planet: number and trends of development

In cities and countries, the number of inhabitants increases every year. And this pattern has a tendency to increase. The surplus population of the planet leads to a reduction in available resources. And this figure continues to increase.

The population is growing most actively in India, and it is still not possible to limit this process. Despite the fact that China is in absolute strength, there are about 1.60 billion people in the country, however, the growth rates are constantly decreasing. In the coming years, one can expect that the bulk of people will be concentrated in the Indian state. This is not a good result, because a large population accumulation in one place undermines the economy.

Currently, the world's population is more than seven billion inhabitants!

Already today in the emerging economies there is a shortage of food, and production opportunities reach their peak. As a result of the growth of cities, there is a decrease in free agricultural areas.

In recent decades, the processes of urbanization have significantly accelerated, and the results are not a secret for anyone. China, realizing the disastrous nature of its situation, began to take measures to reduce the population, limit the birth rate. In this country, these processes have been fully taken under control. As a result, in China there was a certain stability.

Many are wondering which country is in third place in terms of the population of the planet. Statistics show that this is the US. Now in this state there are about 310 million people.

However, there are small city-states on the planet, for example, the Vatican. This city is minimal both in size and in the number of citizens, the number of which is not more than 1000 people.

The population of the planet is also characterized by an indicator such as density. The leaders in the density of residents are small country-cities: Singapore, Monaco and other similar in size. Then the maximum density is observed in countries such as South Korea, Japan (Tokyo). China and India are slightly behind in density from these countries.

The population of the planet is also characterized by such an indicator as the percentage growth in numbers. Here the advantage of hot southern regions is noted. For example, in the UAE this indicator is about 4 percent. The list of leaders includes most of the African countries. India has only 1.50% interest rate growth, and China only 0.60%.

However, there are countries in which there is a natural decline in population, which is just as negative as overpopulation. Russia is no exception. Today, the population decline is 0.1% of the total population per year. And this is taking into account all immigrants arriving in the country. The density of the population of the Russian Federation is also too low, and this can be seen from the vast number of vacant lands. In general, the total population of the country at the beginning of the year was 143.30 million people. Of course, the country does not occupy the last lines in this rating, but it is almost in the top ten of outsiders. However, in comparison with the previous year, there was a positive trend in the birth rate.

In terms of population, the population of the planet is really unevenly distributed. There is also such a regularity, which is related to the quality of life of people. It turns out that the poorer the country, the more people in it and the birth rate. It would seem that everything should be the other way around. But the rich countries have their own principles, they do not need a lot of people. This is reflected in the general demographic situation that needs to be changed.
