The table and pie charts provide information on the population in urban and rural areas from 2010 to 2040 and the demographic indexes. Overall, it is evident that urbanization is increasing, with notable shifts in age and gender distributions across regions.
In urban areas, the population is projected to increase dramatically from 2,500 million in 2010 to 9,200 million by 2040. Conversely, rural populations expected to decrease, falling from 3100 million in 2010 to 890 million by 2040, meaning a significant urban migration.
In terms of demographics, rural citizens have a higher proportion of children (43%) compared to urban areas (39%). Meanwhile, both regions have almost similar percentages of women and men ( 23% each in urban, 26% and 19% in rural, respectively). Elderly people indicate the smallest portion in both areas, with slightly more in urban (15%) than in rural (12%).
