World Population Statistics - INI

World Population Statistics is a comprehensive dataset on population published by the United Nations (UN) and national statistical agencies. The global population reached approximately 8.16 billion in 2024, with India surpassing China as the world's most populous country. This dataset includes key indicators such as population size, population density, annual growth rate, birth rate, death rate, and life expectancy for each country, and is widely used for demographic analysis and international comparisons. Notable trends include rapid population growth in African countries and aging population decline in developed nations.
