World population in 2023

By August 2023, 15, the total population of the world in 2023 will be 8.03 billion.

The total population of 240 countries and regions in the world is 8032 122420, among which142671kloc-0/933 ranks first and becomes the most populous country in the world, while China ranks second and third with 142572992.

It took hundreds of thousands of years for mankind to reach the world population of 654.38+0 billion, and then it only took about 200 years to increase by seven times. The global population will reach 7 billion in 20 1 1 year and 8 billion in 2023. It is predicted that this number will increase to about 8.5 billion in 2030, 9.7 billion in 2050 and 654.38+009 billion in 265.438+000.

Distribution characteristics of world population

1, unbalanced

The biggest feature of population distribution is imbalance. As far as the world is concerned, only 7% of the earth's land area is inhabited by 70% of the world's population; More than 90% of the world's population is concentrated in less than 10% of the land; On the mainland, 35% ~ 40% of the land is basically uninhabited.

2. Distribution regularity

The population is distributed horizontally, mainly in the northern hemisphere, where 90% of the earth's population lives, while only 65,438+00% in the southern hemisphere. In the northern hemisphere, the population is mostly concentrated in temperate and subtropical areas between 20 and 60 north latitude. Population distribution also tends to be concentrated in coastal areas.

3. Time lag

Population distribution often lags behind the development of productive forces and the transfer of economic centers. The reason is that the change of population distribution depends on the time cumulative effect of natural growth rate and net migration rate, and the speed is relatively slow. Only in the newly developed areas with small population base can the immigration factor produce obvious results immediately.
