You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. 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. You should write at least 150 words.

The given tables compare data on the global

population

and its distribution between 1950 and 2000,

along with

projections for the year 2050.

Overall

, it can clearly be seen that the world

population

thrive about 2 times in the following 50 years and will experience a significant growth to almost 4 times from the starting point in 2050.

However

, it is not distributed equally to each region. In terms of the two highest proportions of residents at the start, the

population

of Asia secured fairly half of the residents in the world in 1950 and witnessed a moderate rise

4% in 2000.

Thereafter

, it will remain stable at around 60% in the next half-century. Meanwhile, the

population

of Europe dropped gradually and hit the through at 7% in the same period, 8 times lower than in Asia. Regarding the four lower-level proportions of residents, populations of Africa, Latin

America

, North

America

, and Oceania accounted for below 10%. Africa and Latin

America

experienced a slight increase by roughly 3% in 2000, yet Africa is estimated to soar drastically to one-fifth

whereas

Latin

America

will stable in the same percentage. In the meantime, North

America

decreased steadily to 5% and projected will still decline by 1%,

while

Oceania undergo a very small climb to 1% and will remain steady in the same period.
