About
World population figures for 232 countries, spanning from 1970 to 2022, and includes projections up to 2050. It allows for analysis of historical population trends, growth rates, and density. The data is useful for demographic studies, social science research, and understanding long-term global population dynamics, which indicate a declining growth rate that is projected to reach zero by the end of the 21st century.
