Introduction
The world population is currently estimated to be around 7.7 billion people, with the majority of this population concentrated in the continents of Asia and Africa. This number is expected to continue rising, with a projected peak of 10.9 billion inhabitants by 2100. Despite this large number, however, the populations of different countries around the world vary greatly, ranging from tiny countries like Nauru with a population of 10,873 people to India with an astounding 1.4 billion individuals. A small island nation like the Maldives has around 543,620 people, while a densely populated island country such as Japan has over 125 million people within their borders. Even within Europe there are huge disparities in population size; for instance, almost one-third of Europe’s total population resides in Germany alone – 83 million people – compared to Luxembourg which has only 639,070 citizens. The difference in population between individual nations is quite remarkable and reflects the diversity in population sizes that exist across the globe today.
