COUNTRIES WITH THE LARGEST POPULATION SINCE 10,000BCE. [LARGEST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD 2022.]

This video shows about the largest countries in the world by population from 10,000 BCE all the way to 2022 and its prospects to 2050 too. Around 108 billion people have ever lived on our planet. This means that today’s population size makes up 6.5% of the total number of people ever born.

8 billion and growing: world population milestones throughout history --
It is estimated that the population of the world reached one billion for the first time in 1804. It would be more than 100 years before it reached two billion in 1927, 123 years after 1 billion, but it took only 33 years to reach three billion in 1960, 33 years after 2 billion. Thereafter, the global population reached four billion in 1974, 14 years after 3 billion, five billion in 1987, 13 years after 4 billion, six billion in 1999, 12 years after 5 billion and, by some estimates, seven billion in October 2011, 12 years after 6 billion, with other estimates being in March 2012.

estimates put the global population at nine billion by 2037–2046, 15 years after 8 billion and ten billion by 2054-2071, 17 years after 9 billion, with alternative scenarios ranging from a low of 7.4 billion to a high of more than 10.6 billion by the 2050s and beyond, however these milestones are likely to be reached far sooner.

Projected figures vary depending on underlying statistical assumptions and which variables are manipulated in projection calculations, especially the fertility variable. Long-range predictions to 2150 range from a population decline to 3.2 billion in the 'low scenario', to 'high scenarios' of 24.8 billion. One scenario predicts a massive increase to 256 billion by 2150, assuming fertility remains at 1995 levels.

Until the Industrial Revolution began, birth rates and death rates were both very high, which kept the global human population relatively stable. In fact, it took all of human history, until around 1804, to reach 1 billion people. Modern medicine and sanitation played heavily in reducing mortality rates—especially among infants and children—but there wasn’t yet a reliable way to reduce fertility (the first modern contraceptive, the birth control pill, wasn’t introduced until 1960). The drop in mortality while fertility remained unchanged caused the beginning of what is now known as the J-curve (see below). With more people surviving to adulthood and then having kids of their own, the human population started growing exponentially.

It took 123 years to reach 2 billion, and only 33 years to reach 3 billion. The last several billion milestones (4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 billion) were reached in 14, 13, 11, 12, and 12 years, respectively. The UN projects that it will take 15 years to reach the 9 billion mark and 21 more years to reach 10 billion.

Most of the growth around the world occurs in less developed countries—places already struggling to provide for their citizens, especially in the midst of the climate crisis (which has been disproportionately caused by people in high-income countries). In fact, 96% of global population growth since the 7 billion milestone has occurred in less developed countries.

The United Nations Population Division projects that the world will reach 9 billion people in 2037 and 10 billion in 2058. Without increased investment in voluntary international family planning programs and other initiatives that correlate with lower fertility (child survival, girls’ education, women’s empowerment), we could be looking at a situation where the next couple milestones are crossed earlier than currently projected.

The world region that saw the fastest population growth over the last two centuries was North America. The population grew 31-fold. Latin America saw the second-largest increase (28-fold). Over the same period the population in Europe of increased 3-fold, in Africa 14-fold, and in Asia 6-fold.

India is projected to surpass China as the world’s most populous country in 2023, according to World Population Prospects 2022.

More than half of the projected increase in the global population up to 2050 will be concentrated in eight countries: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines and the United Republic of Tanzania. Countries of sub-Saharan Africa are expected to contribute more than half of the increase anticipated through 2050.

I'm particularly impressed that you managed to pull public records from Mexican authorities in the year 9, 000 BCE. I heard the bureaucracy was a real hassle. Jokes aside, subbed, keep up the good work :)

Wrong information, Pakistan came into existence in 1947.
