The pie charts illustrate the distribution of global population by regions between 1900 and 2000.
Overall, world population showed significant changes by regions over the one hundred-year period. The total population in 1900 at 1.6 billion rose dramatically to reach 6 billion in 2000.
The proportion of Asia Pacific (including former Soviet Asia) decreased slightly by 6%, from 60% in 1900 to 54% in 2000. The figures for Europe including Russia dropped sharply by 11%, from 25% in 1900 to 14% in 2000.
Conversely, Africa’s population increased quickly by 6%, from 4% in 1900 to 10% in 2000. A similar trend was observed in Latin America, with the rates growing steadily from 3% in 1900 to 8% in 2000. Population in other regions and North America remained relatively the same, with each constituting 3% and 5%, respectively. However, Middle East and North Africa showed a sudden rise by 6% in 2000.
In summary, the global population varied significantly across all regions, with Asia primarily representing the majority of the chart, followed by Europe (including Russia) despite the recorded declines. In contrast, Latin America and Africa both experienced rapid growth in population over the period, while Middle East and North Africa showed a sudden rise of population number. Additionally, North America and other regions did not mark any significant changes.
