2011 Population

In 2011, the world’s population reached approximately 7 billion people, marking a significant milestone in demographic history. Asia was the most populous continent, home to over 4.2 billion people—about 60% of the global total—with China (around 1.34 billion) and India (about 1.21 billion) as the two most populous countries. Africa’s population surpassed 1 billion, with Nigeria and Ethiopia among its largest nations. Europe had about 740 million inhabitants, led by Russia and Germany, while Latin America and the Caribbean’s population was roughly 590 million, with Brazil and Mexico as regional giants. North America’s population was about 350 million, dominated by the United States (over 310 million). Oceania, including Australia and the Pacific Islands, had the smallest continental population, with around 37 million people. These figures reflected ongoing urbanization, varying growth rates, and differing demographic challenges across regions.
