Types of Population
In demography, population types can be classified based on various criteria such as geographical location (urban vs. rural), demographics (age groups, gender), socio-economic status (income levels, employment status), and more. There are also distinctions between native vs. immigrant populations and temporary vs. permanent residents. Each type has unique characteristics and implications for resource allocation, policy-making, and social services.
Distribution of Population: Facts & Figures
Population distribution is referred to as the spatial arrangement of people on Earth’s surface. It is astonishing to note that 10% of the world’s land area is home to 90% of the world’s inhabitants. To be more precise, the majority of people on Earth—roughly 60% of all people alive today—live in or around the top 10 most populous countries in the globe. This concentration is a reflection of the unequal distribution of human populations worldwide, where a significant portion of the global population resides in some locations.
