Distributional pattern of population
in the world
➢INTRODUCTION
In demographics, the world population is the total number of humans currently living and was estimated
to have reached 7.95 billion people as of 2022. The existing distributional pattern of the world's
population is characterized by significant variations across regions and countries. Broadly, 90% of the
world’s population lives in about 10% of the earth’s land area.
The term population distribution refers to the way people are spaced over
the surface of the earth. The distributional pattern of the world's population
is a complex and dynamic phenomenon influenced by various geographic,
historical, social, and economic factors.
As per Clark, a distinguished University Research Professor in the
Geography Department at the University of California, Los Angeles “A few
regions have human agglomerations while the vast area is the void gone”.
American geographer George Babcock Cressey “A few areas have many
people and many areas have a few”.
Population distribution in the world can be analyzed from various
perspectives, including hemisphere, latitude, and continent.
