How Populations Have Changed In Asia Since 1990

Sunday, December 8, 2024 0:23

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Since 1990, the world population has grown by 3 billion people. And half of those births occurred in Asia.

But which countries have seen the most (relative) growth, and have any declined?

Visual Capitalist’s Pallavi Rao maps out the changes in population for every Asian country between 1990 and 2023.

Data was sourced from the UN’s World Population Prospects 2024, and all figures are rounded.

Ranked: Asian Countries by Population Change (1990–2023)

The Middle East has seen the largest relative population growth in Asia, in some cases up 3-6x as seen in Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia.

34	Vietnam	50	100,352
35	Kyrgyzstan	49	7,074
36	Bangladesh	49	171,467
37	Nepal	48	29,695
38	Azerbaijan	41	10,318
39	Sri Lanka	38	22,972
40	Hong Kong	35	7,443
41	Myanmar	33	54,134
42	Thailand	31	71,702
43	Bhutan	31	786
44	North Korea	24	26,418
45	China	24	1,422,585
46	South Korea	18	51,749
47	Taiwan	15	23,317
48	Kazakhstan	14	20,330
49	Japan	2	124,371
50	Armenia	-19	2,943
51	Georgia	-30	3,807

On the whole, nearly all Asian countries have added significantly to their people in the last three decades, including some of the world’s most populous countries: India (+62%), China (+24%), Indonesia (+50%), and Pakistan (+102%).

Only two transcontinental countries—Armenia and Georgia—have seen population declines. War is a primary reason for both, leading to economic repercussions, in turn fuelling an exodus of people.

Chasing Demographic Dividends

This explosion in people has also fueled Asia’s economic growth, particularly in China and India, from surging demand for goods and services.

In fact, Asia now has the highest share of world GDP (36%), eclipsing North America (31%) by five percentage points.

At the same time, many parts of the continent are still struggling with food insecurity, poverty, and civil strife. And for many of its advanced economies, the demographic dividend is ending. As birth rates fall, and the population ages, social security nets may not be able to keep up with increasing demands.
