The information displays the percentage of the entire world population in four countries in 1950 and 2002, and estimations on how it will change by 2050.
Overall, most powerhouses seem to be sinking in terms of their population percent, with the unique exception of India, which is analysed to be on the rise.
To kick things off, let us take a deeper dive into China and Japan. For both of these locations, we have seen drastic declines in their portion of how much they populate in the world’s population. For China, it has seen sharp declines from 22.5% in 1950 to 20% in 2002, and that figure is expected to continue to flop to 15% in 2050. As for Japan, it started at a mere 4% in 1950, and that number is dipping slowly but surely to 3% in 2002 and 1% in 2050.
On the contrary, we are seeing a stark increase in the Indian population, they seem to be on the rise, from 15% in 1950 to an impressive 17% in 2002, and that numeral is projected to continue to rise to 19% in 2050. As for the U.S.A., it started at 7% but has experienced a bit of a falloff to 5% but it manages to hold its position there until 2050.
