1995 Population

In 1995, the world population was approximately 5.7 billion people. Asia was the most populous continent, home to about 3.4 billion people—nearly 60% of the global total—with China (around 1.2 billion) and India (about 950 million) as the two most populous countries. Africa’s population was around 720 million, with Nigeria and Egypt as leading contributors. Europe had about 730 million inhabitants, with Russia, Germany, and the United Kingdom among its most populous nations. The Americas accounted for roughly 790 million people, with the United States (about 266 million) and Brazil (around 160 million) as the largest countries by population. Oceania, including Australia and the Pacific Islands, had a much smaller population of about 29 million. This demographic landscape reflected significant regional disparities, with rapid population growth in Asia and Africa, contrasted by slower growth or stagnation in parts of Europe and North America.
