About
This dataset provides detailed information on world population trends and projections by country. It includes historical population figures from 1970 up to 2022, alongside future projections for global population growth through 2055 and beyond. The dataset offers insights into key demographic aspects such as population size, growth rates, density, and global life expectancy. It highlights the most populous countries, significant regional population changes, and the impact of factors like fertility rates and life expectancy improvements on the global population. The data reveals shifts, such as India's projected rise to become the most populous country, and the challenges posed by population ageing. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding global demographic shifts and their implications.
