About
This dataset offers an overview of the world population, encompassing all individuals residing in every country globally. It facilitates the analysis of various parameters critical to understanding population dynamics, such as population density, age distribution, gender balance, ethnic and racial diversity, religious affiliations, urbanization trends, population growth rates, education, and literacy. Such analysis can illuminate demographic trends, anticipate potential challenges, and guide policy formulation.
