The data for the ranking is collected and analyzed by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) on the basis of statistical data received from national institutions and international organizations, including census data, birth and death registration, as well as migration reports. The main focus is on the accuracy and completeness of the data, which allows us to give the most correct estimates of the population.
Demographic estimates are an important tool for analyzing global demographic trends. These figures reflect the distribution of the population by country and region. They help to understand which countries are facing overpopulation problems and which are facing demographic decline.
Regular data updates make it possible to track the dynamics of population change in different countries and predict it for the coming decades.
