the tables below give information about the world population and distribution in 1950 and 2000, with an estimate of the situation in 2050. summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The table represents the amount of world’s

population

and its distribution in different regions between 1950 and 2000, it

also

depicts the prediction of the

population

of the world in 2050.

Overall

it can be seen that the

population

of Africa,

Asia

, South

America

, and Oceania increased

whereas

the percentage of people in Europe and North

America

declined over the following period.

Furthermore

, the total number of individuals experienced upward trends following time. Looking at the data sets of Africa,

Asia

, South

America

, and Oceania in more detail

it is clear that

9% of the

population

in 1950 rose to 13% in 2000 in Africa and it is estimated that it will be 20% in 2050.

In addition

, people of

Asia

and Latin

America

also

increased by 4% and 3% in 2000 respectively from 56% and 6% in 1950.

Moreover

, the assumed

population

in 2050 of

Asia

will decrease slightly to 59% but

this

figure for South

America

will remain unchanged as 2000. It is forecasted that only 1% of the world

population

will live which was below 1 percent in 1950 in Oceania. Turning to the information sets of Europe and North

America

in detail it is evident that the

population

of Europe underwent a downward trend, accounting for 22% in 1950, 12% in 2000, and 7% in 2050.

Similarly

, the people of North

America

went down to 5% in 2000 from 7% in 1950 and it is predicted 4% in 2050. By 2000, the world

population

had rocketed to 6 billion from 2.5 billion and it is forecasted that it will go up to 9 billion (approximately) in 2050.
