About the population of countries around the world that have become unimaginable figures unknown


Even when the Philippine population exceeded 100 million people, it was a shock, but Ethiopia also had a population of over 100 million people. Changes in the population of countries around the world, especially in developing countries, are dynamic compared to Japan without major change. If you do not frequently update your memory, it will be left behind by the speed of the world.

Hello, this is Takuya Sudo @ Charriderman who toured the world by bicycle . When I confirmed the population of each country in the world for the first time in about three years, my grandpa, Grandma meets my grandchild after a long absence "It got bigger while not seeing for a while" became a feeling of my grandmother. Do you update the population of every country in your memory?

◆ April 2015



When I was looking at the net, it was said that the population of the Philippines exceeded 100 million people in July 2014, and received a considerable shock. Until then it was about the same as Vietnam, with a population of about 80 to 90 million people.

Philippines, population exceeding 100 million people Support high growth: Nihon Keizai Shimbun

The population committee of the Philippine government announced on the 27th that the population of the country exceeded 100 million people. The population of the Philippines was about 92.34 million at the census as of 2010, but it is increasing by about 2% a year. According to an estimate that three children per minute were born, it said that it exceeded 100 million people on 27th.


I noticed this news in April 2015. By the way, I have not checked the population of countries all over the world for a long time. Since I needed to update my memory, I posted an article on my blog that examined the top 20 countries of the world with the most population at that time.

I used the English version of Wikipedia as the source of the data.

List of countries and dependencies by population - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_population

Since we reflect the official information of governments all over the world, we can grasp the latest population of each country. On the other hand, the statistical dates and times are disjointed, so the population ranking is not fair. Regarding the population of countries around the world, the World Bank, the United Nations, the IMF, etc. are also publishing data, so please have a look at that together. There is also data that makes Mexico the tenth place population instead of Japan.

At this time it was the result like the following.

Country name population
1 People's Republic of China 1.369155 million
2 India 1,265.590 million people
3 United States of America 360,501 thousand people
Four Indonesia 255.4617 million
Five Brazil 241.34 million
6 Pakistan 189,796,000 people
7 Nigeria 155 422 31 322 people
8 Bangladesh 152,293 thousand people
9 Russia 146,267,288 people
Ten Japan 126.91 million people
11 Mexico 122 million 5815 people
12 Philippines 126.1700 people
Wall of 100 million people
13 Vietnam 90.73 million people
14 Ethiopia 900 million 6012 people
15 Egypt 8831.6 million
16 Germany 80.925 million
17 Iran 78.253 million
18 Turkey 77.695904 people
19 Democratic Republic of the Congo 71.246 million
20 Thailand 69.08 million people


Three countries, Vietnam, Ethiopia and Egypt, are likely to exceed the 100 million population in the near future. And the Democratic Republic of Congo (former Zaire) is still developing, so it seemed likely that the population will increase.



July 2018



In July 2018, three years or more since checking before. The population of various countries around the world changes dramatically between such times. Since I wanted to compare with the same source, I will continue to use the English version of Wikipedia. It is data as of July 29.

Country name population Change relative to April 2015
1 People's Republic of China 1,393.2 million 0000 people 240.45 million
2 India 1,344.5 million people 6536.6 million people

13 Philippines 162.35 million 4,973,300 people
Wall of 100 million people
14 Egypt 97,297,400 people 8,881,400 people
15 Vietnam 94.66 million people 3.93 million
16 Democratic Republic of the Congo 84 million 4989 people 12758989 people
17 Germany 82.74 million 0900 people 1.1815 million
18 Iran 81.6587 million 3.3557
19 Turkey 80.81 million children 311, 4621 people
20 Thailand 69,183,3173 people 100, 3173 people


The population of Ethiopia exceeded 100 million people. Both Egypt and Vietnam are in the foreground of 100 million people. Democratic Republic of Congo has 84 million people and the population increase is accelerating. Pakistan topped 200 million people. Nigeria, the biggest population in Africa, is also a little more than 200 million people. The difference between China and 2nd place India is also approaching. Over 80 million people in neighboring Iran and Turkey were deeply impressed.



Population decline is only in Japan. As in Japan, Russia, which had a declining birthrate problem, improved its birthrate by population support system with national raising support system and started to increase population.

◆ I want to talk about the population of countries all over the world <br> Please let me know the points you want to keep about the population of countries around the world. The numbers are also Wikipedia.

European countries have not so many populations. The major countries of Western Europe are Germany: 82.74 million, France: 67.27 million, Britain: 660.4 million, Italy: 60.48 million people, Spain: 46.65 million people. In Eastern Europe Ukraine: 42.27 million people, Poland: 38.22 million people are becoming population great countries. In Northern Europe Finland was 5.15 million people and Norway was 5.3 million people, which was a recognition that there are few populations, but Sweden has broke through the mark of 10 million people, which is 1.106 million people.



Indonesia: 2650.1 million people, Philippines: 162.3 million people, Vietnam: 94.6 million people, Thailand: 69.18 million people, in total 10 countries, the population of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) with about 640 million people It is attractive, and it will be fun for the future as much as it is developing. Reforms from military dictatorship Myanmar who is opening up and opening liberally has 538 million people and has sufficient potential as the last frontier.



East Africa has its eyes on the population of the three countries of Kenya: 5095 million people, Tanzania: 54.1 million people, Uganda: 38,820,000 people. Since I did not update the recognition here, it was about minus 10 million people. The six countries, namely Burundi, Rwanda and South Sudan (joined in March 2016 ) , are promoting economic integration as the East African Community (EAC) in these three countries.



Brazil with a huge area in South America has a population of 293.77 million and ranks first. The second place is 49.87 million in Colombia and Argentina in the third place with 44.49 million people. Countries in South America have less population than land area.



The Australian population I learned at school was less than 20 million people. However, in the mid 2000s it exceeded 20 million people. And now it has exceeded 25 million people. Although it is a country where immigration acceptance is vigorous, it is impossible to imagine a society called 'New Australians' with one out of every five people, with a career of less than 15 years, including newly born children.



If you travel abroad, you will not lose knowing the population of that country. The price was cheaper as the population was more popular. There is a figure of GDP per capita, but if there are many low-income earners, the price will fluctuate there, so grasping the population is important. While traveling in southern Africa, 2.3 million people in Botswana and 2.4 million people in Namibia knew that the population was small for the area, so we could relieve a camp in the wilderness a bit.

Countries around Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia are explosively populated. Did you update the population of various countries in your memory?
