How Populations Have Changed In Asia Since 1990<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Since 1990, the world population has grown by 3 billion people. And half of those births occurred in Asia.<\/p>\n

But which countries have seen the most (relative) growth, and have any declined?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Visual Capitalist’s Pallavi Rao maps <\/a>out the changes in population for every Asian country between 1990 and 2023.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Data was sourced from the UN\u2019s World Population Prospects 2024, and all figures are rounded.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ranked: Asian Countries by Population Change (1990\u20132023)<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0Middle East<\/strong>\u00a0has seen the largest relative population growth in Asia, in some cases up 3-6x as seen in Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

On the whole, nearly all Asian countries have added significantly to their people in the last three decades, including some of the world\u2019s\u00a0most populous countries:<\/a>\u00a0India (+62%), China (+24%), Indonesia (+50%), and Pakistan (+102%).<\/p>\n

Only two transcontinental countries\u2014Armenia<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Georgia<\/strong>\u2014have seen population declines. War is a primary reason for both, leading to economic repercussions, in turn fuelling an exodus of people.<\/p>\n

Chasing Demographic Dividends<\/h2>\n

This explosion in people has also fueled Asia\u2019s economic growth, particularly in China and India, from surging demand for goods and services.<\/p>\n

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

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\u00a0demographic dividend<\/a>\u00a0is ending. As birth rates fall, and the population ages, social security nets may not be able to keep up with increasing demands.<\/p>\n
