As expected India and China, nations whom are under development, took the lead with the highest percentage compared to the developed states such as USA and Japan.
Over the centuary, the percentage of the total population has remarkably increased in India from 15% in 1950 to almost 19%. At this rate, this nation, placed next to the other states, will cover the highest fraction of people in their land.
On the other hand, China’s proportions dramatically decreased from 23% in 1950 to 20% in 2003 and it is predicted to reach about 15% by the end of 2050. This noticeable change will accord the country the possibility of reaching both USA and Japan’s low percentages which is respectively about 6% in 1950 and contantly 5% in both 2003 till 2050, and less than 5% in 1950 to 1% in 2050
