TwitterGlobally, about 25 percent of the population is under 15 years of age and 10 percent is over 65 years of age. Africa has the youngest population worldwide. In Sub-Saharan Africa, more than 40 percent of the population is below 15 years, and only three percent are above 65, indicating the low life expectancy in several of the countries. In Europe, on the other hand, a higher share of the population is above 65 years than the population under 15 years. Fertility rates The high share of children and youth in Africa is connected to the high fertility rates on the continent. For instance, South Sudan and Niger have the highest population growth rates globally. However, about 50 percent of the world’s population live in countries with low fertility, where women have less than 2.1 children. Some countries in Europe, like Latvia and Lithuania, have experienced a population decline of one percent, and in the Cook Islands, it is even above two percent. In Europe, the majority of the population was previously working-aged adults with few dependents, but this trend is expected to reverse soon, and it is predicted that by 2050, the older population will outnumber the young in many developed countries. Growing global population As of 2025, there are 8.1 billion people living on the planet, and this is expected to reach more than nine billion before 2040. Moreover, the global population is expected to reach 10 billions around 2060, before slowing and then even falling slightly by 2100. As the population growth rates indicate, a significant share of the population increase will happen in Africa.

TwitterUntil 2100, the world's population is expected to be ageing. Whereas people over 60 years made up less than 13 percent of the world's population in 2024, this share is estimated to reach 28.8 percent in 2100. On the other hand, the share of people between zero and 14 years was expected to decrease by almost ten percentage points over the same period.

This is a hybrid gridded dataset of demographic data for China from 1979 to 2100, given as 21 five-year age groups of population divided by gender every year at a 0.5-degree grid resolution.
The historical period (1979-2020) part of this dataset combines the NASA SEDAC Gridded Population of the World version 4 (GPWv4, UN WPP-Adjusted Population Count) with gridded population from the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP, Histsoc gridded population data).
The projection (2010-2100) part of this dataset is resampled directly from Chen et al.’s data published in Scientific Data.
This dataset includes 31 provincial administrative districts of China, including 22 provinces, 5 autonomous regions, and 4 municipalities directly under the control of the central government (Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao were excluded due to missing data).
Method - demographic fractions by age and gender in 1979-2020
Age- and gender-specific demographic data by grid cell for each province in China are derived by combining historical demographic data in 1979-2020 with the national population census data provided by the National Statistics Bureau of China.
To combine the national population census data with the historical demographics, we constructed the provincial fractions of demographic in each age groups and each gender according to the fourth, fifth and sixth national population census, which cover the year of 1979-1990, 1991-2000 and 2001-2020, respectively. The provincial fractions can be computed as:
\(\begin{align*} \begin{split} f_{year,province,age,gender}= \left \{ \begin{array}{lr} POP_{1990,province,age,gender}^{4^{th}census}/POP_{1990,province}^{4^{th}census} & 1979\le\mathrm{year}\le1990\\ POP_{2000,province,age,gender}^{5^{th}census}/POP_{2000,province}^{5^{th}census} & 1991\le\mathrm{year}\le2000\\ POP_{2010,province,age,gender}^{6^{th}census}/POP_{2010,province}^{6^{th}census}, & 2001\le\mathrm{year}\le2020 \end{array} \right. \end{split} \end{align*}\)
Where:
- \( f_{\mathrm{year,province,age,gender}}\)is the fraction of population for a given age, a given gender in each province from the national census from 1979-2020.
- \(\mathrm{PO}\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{year,province,age,gender}}^{X^{\mathrm{th}}\mathrm{census} }\) is the total population for a given age, a given gender in each province from the Xth national census.
- \(\mathrm{PO}\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{year,province}}^{X^{\mathrm{th}}\mathrm{census} }\) is the total population for all ages and both genders in each province from the Xth national census.
Method - demographic totals by age and gender in 1979-2020
The yearly grid population for 1979-1999 are from ISIMIP Histsoc gridded population data, and for 2000-2020 are from the GPWv4 demographic data adjusted by the UN WPP (UN WPP-Adjusted Population Count, v4.11, https://beta.sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/data/set/gpw-v4-population-count-adjusted-to-2015-unwpp-country-totals-rev11), which combines the spatial distribution of demographics from GPWv4 with the temporal trends from the UN WPP to improve accuracy. These two gridded time series are simply joined at the cut-over date to give a single dataset - historical demographic data covering 1979-2020.
Next, historical demographic data are mapped onto the grid scale to obtain provincial data by using gridded provincial code lookup data and name lookup table. The age- and gender-specific fraction were multiplied by the historical demographic data at the provincial level to obtain the total population by age and gender for per grid cell for china in 1979-2020.
Method - demographic totals and fractions by age and gender in 2010-2100
The grid population count data in 2010-2100 under different shared socioeconomic pathway (SSP) scenarios are drawn from Chen et al. published in Scientific Data with a resolution of 1km (~ 0.008333 degree). We resampled the data to 0.5 degree by aggregating the population count together to obtain the future population data per cell.
This previously published dataset also provided age- and gender-specific population of each provinces, so we calculated the fraction of each age and gender group at provincial level. Then, we multiply the fractions with grid population count to get the total population per age group per cell for each gender.
Note that the projected population data from Chen’s dataset covers 2010-2020, while the historical population in our dataset also covers 2010-2020. The two datasets of that same period may vary because the original population data come from different sources and are calculated based on different methods.

While working on COVID19 forecast challenge, I concluded that population, population density and age too impact the spread of COVID19 and the real impact of COVID19 for a country must be seen with respect to its population, mortality rate and area. In this regard, I started searching for an authentic source for world-wide population for 2019-2020 and came across World Bank Population Estimates and Projections. So I think this dataset might be helpful to get better insights and forecast.
This dataset consists of two files: 1. Data file: This file has the country-wise data about the population distribution based on various categories like gender, age, urban/rural as well as birth and death rate as available on World Bank Population Estimates and Projections. The last updated date is 19/09/2019. 2. Meta data file: This file contains the metadata information (source of the data).
The data has been collected from World Bank Population Estimates and Projections
In my opinion the population, population density, age, and mortality contribute to the number of confirmed cases, recovered cases and fatalities arising due to COVID19. This data might help the community to find the exact impact of COVID19 on World population.

MOZ_population_v1_1_gridded.tifThis GeoTIFF raster (.tif), at a spatial resolution of 3 arc-seconds (approximately 100m at the equator), contains estimated population counts per grid cell across Mozambique. The projection is the geographic coordinate system WGS84 (World Geodetic System 1984). ‘NoData’ values represent areas that were mapped as unsettled based on building footprints from “Digitize Africa data © 2020 Maxar Technologies, Ecopia.AI”. These data are stored as floating-point numbers rather than integers to avoid rounding errors in aggregated populations for larger areas.MOZ_population_v1_1_agesex.zipThis zip file contains 40 rasters in GeoTIFF format. Each raster provides gridded population estimates for an age-sex group. We provide 36 rasters for the commonly reported age-sex groupings of sequential age classes for males and females separately. The files are labelled with either an “m” (male) or an “f” (female) followed by the number of the first year of the age class represented by the data. “f0” and “m0” are population counts of under 1 year olds for females and males, respectively. “f1” and “m1” are population counts of 1 to 4 year olds for females and males, respectively. Over 4 years old, the age groups are in five year bins labelled with a “5”, “10”, etc. Eighty year olds and over are represented in the groups “f80” and “m80”.We provide an additional four rasters that represent aggregated demographic groups of special interest for development programmes and interventions. These are “under1” (all females and males under the age of 1), “under5” (all females and males under the age of 5), “under15” (all females and males under the age of 15) and “f15_49” (all females between the ages of 15 and 49, inclusive). These data were produced using the peanutButter R package (Leasure et al. 2020b) which multiplied the gridded population estimates (MOZ_population_v1_1_gridded.tif) by gridded age-sex proportions that differ by region (WorldPop et al. 2018, Pezzulo et al. 2017).While each data file represents population counts, individual values contain decimals, i.e. fractions of people. This is because we do not estimate which grid cell each individual in a given age group occupies. For example, if four grid cells next to each other have values of 0.25 this indicates that there is one person of that age group somewhere in those four grid cellsThis work provides an estimate of the geographic distribution of the population of Mozambique in 2017. The outputs are intended as an interim population product to support ongoing development and operations work until such time as the official 2017 Population and Housing Census results are available in a spatial gridded format. At that time, this interim gridded population layer will be superseded and users will be advised to use the official gridded population release from INE.Data Citation: Bondarenko M, Jones P, Leasure D, Lazar AN, Tatem AJ. 2020.

TwitterBetween 1800 and 2021, the total population of each continent experienced consistent growth, however as growth rates varied by region, population distribution has fluctuated. In the early 19th century, almost 70 percent of the world's population lived in Asia, while fewer than 10 percent lived in Africa. By the end of this century, it is believed that Asia's share will fall to roughly 45 percent, while Africa's will be on course to reach 40 percent. 19th and 20th centuries Fewer than 2.5 percent of the world's population lived in the Americas in 1800, however the demographic transition, along with waves of migration, would see this share rise to almost 10 percent a century later, peaking at almost 14 percent in the 1960s. Europe's share of the global population also grew in the 19th century, to roughly a quarter in 1900, but fell thereafter and saw the largest relative decline during the 20th century. Asia, which has consistently been the world's most populous continent, saw its population share drop by the mid-1900s, but it has been around 60 percent since the 1970s. It is important to note that the world population has grown from approximately one to eight billion people between 1800 and the 2020s, and that declines in population distribution before 2020 have resulted from different growth rates across the continents. 21st century Africa's population share remained fairly constant throughout this time, fluctuating between 7.5 and 10 percent until the late-1900s, but it is set to see the largest change over the 21st century. As Europe's total population is now falling, and it is estimated that the total populations of Asia and the Americas will fall by the 2050s and 2070s respectively, rapid population growth in Africa will see a significant shift in population distribution. Africa's population is predicted to grow from 1.3 to 3.9 billion people over the next eight decades, and its share of the total population will rise to almost 40 percent. The only other continent whose population will still be growing at this time will be Oceania, although its share of the total population has never been more than 0.7 percent.
