1967 Population

In 1967, the world’s population was estimated to be around 3.5 billion people. Asia was by far the most populous continent, home to over half of the global population, with China and India alone accounting for more than 1.2 billion people combined—China had around 750 million and India about 520 million. Europe’s population was approximately 670 million, with the Soviet Union, Germany, and the United Kingdom as major contributors. Africa’s population was about 350 million, with Nigeria and Egypt among its most populous countries. North America had roughly 230 million people, with the United States making up the majority at nearly 200 million. Latin America and the Caribbean had around 285 million, with Brazil and Mexico as leading countries. Oceania, including Australia and New Zealand, had a much smaller share, totaling about 20 million inhabitants. These demographic patterns reflected the early stages of rapid population growth, especially in developing regions, that would characterize the latter 20th century.
