Ada
16th June 2011 		Suchita, who cares about the age of population, this planet is not expanding, but the number of humans are increasing drastically in the past 100 years,
what will humans eat when it comes to, say, 50 billion?
or will they resort to canibalism?
Jay
17th May 2011 		Shouldn't the 3rd place be a country?
Surely it can't be the EU since it's not a country and the individual countries are already part of the ranking

swarupan
10th March 2010 		Who is in 3rd place ???
Bill
3rd March 2010 		Hmmm... Maybe it's not so smart to go to third world countries, fix their health problems and feed them. We are creating a much bigger problem that no one will be able to fix. Just a thought, instead of giving them food, health care maybe we should just give them advice (you need to have less babies) and if they take it, they'll be ok. If not, then the natural food supply will take its course.

28th January 2009 		Population statistics is very important for planning in many fields for the countries, but I see that most basic data at this site different with census data resulted by my country. For examples, Indonesia population were 119208229, 146934948, 178631196, and 204674595 peoples, respectively, based upon the census resulted in years of 1971, 1980, 1990, and 2000. Population increment between 2006 and 2007 is also dramatically uncommon. Figure 224899096 (2007) and 227762011 (2008) may closer to the projection population issued by BPS (Central Statistics Bureau Indonesia). However, I really appreciate your information and I would like to help you in any way you may need, particularly to make any correction and complete the basic data.
Thank you.

19th August 2005 		There are more pyramids in Sudan (south of egypt ) than in Egypt combined. But because of its lack of modern conveniences not many tourists have visited it. The oldest pyramids head back all the way to eighth century B.C. It's a shame they have to be forgotten.

20th July 2005 		I seriously advise NationMaster to revise its description for Brazil's population. The current description gives an erroneous account of the number of deaths related to AIDS in Brazil. Unlike what happens in many countries in southern Africa, AIDS is not a prevalent cause of death in Brazil and has none or only marginal effects on the total size of the population. Brazil is cited by many health organizations as "the" positive example for fighting AIDS. Even developed countries should learn from Brazil on this issue.

Please read comment by illyushin zaak (2005-04-09 16:14:09) for additional information.

18th January 2005 		Many other countries face problems at the other end of the spectrum, having an increasing proportion of young people below 24. This profile has its own attendant set of development issues and problems.

What are the development implications of having a younger population?

Governments would need to budget for education and related social infrastructure accordingly. In poorer countries, unemployment rates may rise, aggravating social tensions; in addition, fertility and birth rates may go up, requiring relevant planning to address related issues, such as teenage pregnancy.

18th January 2005 		The world passed a milestone on June 16, 1999, when its population touched six billion. India and China alone accounted for close to a third of this total. Though population growth remains a serious development issue, the Malthusian theory of arithmetic growth in resources and geometric population growth resulting in poverty and unsustainable lifestyles has been modified to include political, technological and economic systems being more decisive factors.

The greater development issue for many countries is the profile of their populations. Many countries are increasingly graying, with a growing proportion of populations over 64.

What are the problems of an aging population?

Governments would need to increase budgets for healthcare, live-in institutions and other support systems for the aged, even as production is likely to be impacted by a proportionately smaller working population.

1st December 2004 		why should it be so tough to find data on "population density" in various countries?? That should be pretty basic, but nooooo....
