Population Statistics

47 interactive population charts — free to explore, filter, download & embed

← All Topics

The population section covers how many people live in each country and how that is changing: births, ageing, cities, migration and refugees. Most charts use World Bank data, published year by year. The refugee charts use UNHCR statistics for the end of 2025, and the city ranking uses the UN's World Urbanization Prospects.

India had 1,464 million people in 2025 and China 1,407 million. Chad had the highest fertility rate in 2024, at 6.03 children per woman. In Monaco 36.0% of the population is aged 65 or older, and in Japan 30.0%. Colombia hosts more refugees than any other country, 2.8 million, followed by Germany with 2.7 million. By the UN's 2025 estimate, Jakarta is now the world's largest city, with 41.9 million people.

The ranking of the most populous countries runs year by year from 2017 to 2025, and fertility and urbanisation have their own yearly series, so you can follow each country's trend.
