World’s Most Populous Countries

Populous Countries Around The World: 1973 to 2023

Future worldwide population projections are fascinating.

But even the charts that simply record the past are telling.

Pay special attention to India, Germany, and Nigeria:

It is mind-boggling to think of how fast India has been growing. It really demonstrates how much potential there is for the population to just balloon exponentially after a certain point.

But oddly, not the case for Germany. They are practically stagnant if you remove the immigrants.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Earth, we have Nigeria. 60 million to 224 million in just 50 years. I understand the math, but when considering human populations, that just doesn’t seem like it should be possible. That’s nearly a fourfold increase.

Pakistan and Japan share a similar story to Nigeria and Germany.

A couple other helpful breakdowns to get a full idea about the population projections and current world condition:

All of these populations are growing so fast. If they continue, it will be interesting to see how infrastructure and food-related technology keep up to sustain such growth.
