The pie charts illustrate the proportion of the global population distributed in different regions between 1990 and 2000.
Overall, the world population saw significant growth over a century, with Asia consistently having the highest number of inhabitants. It is worth noting that a new region, the Middle East and North Africa, emerged in 2000.
During the 100-year period, the proportion of people residing in Asia slightly decreased from 60% to 54%, yet it maintained its position as the leading region in terms of total global population. Similarly, Europe (including Russia) experienced a small drop of more than 10%, coming in second.
In contrast, both Africa and Latin America saw population growth, increasing by 5%, from 5% to 10%, and from 3% to 8%, respectively. In addition, the percentage of North America’s population remained stable at 5% until 2000, whereas the Middle East and North Africa witnessed an increase to 6% during the same period.
