Understanding Population — a simple guide
What it measures
Total mid-year population.
How it is calculated
Total residents at mid-year, from censuses and official estimates.
1,450 million means 145 crore people.
A large, growing population means a large workforce and consumer market.
A shrinking or ageing population can slow long-term growth.
Why it matters for the economy and markets
Population size and growth shape labour supply, consumption and long-term growth potential.
How to read it
Compare growth rates and age structure rather than size alone.
How to use the chart
Use the 5Y / 10Y / 25Y / Max buttons to change the time range, or drag the slider under the chart. Hover (or tap) on the line to see the exact value for any period. Dashed lines and hatched bars are IMF projections, not actual data. The “Download CSV” button gives you the full data series.
