They probably don’t realize that most things happen in Asia, where almost 5 billion live.","Source: UN World Population Prospects 2024","This data comes from the UN’s World Population Prospects 2024[1]. Gapminder has divided the world into four regions of almost equal landmass. We then rounded the numbers for each of these regions to get what we call the PINcode of the world: 1115 [2]. That is 1 billion people in the Americas, 1 billion in Europe, 1 billion in Africa and 5 billion in Asia. \n\nThe actual numbers are: The Americas: 1.0 billion; Africa: 1.4 billion; Europe: 0.85 billion; Asia: 4.7 billion.\u000bThe UN’s population data is mainly based on census data. 80% of the world’s countries had census data from the last 10 years. There are some uncertainties in the data for different countries depending on whether citizens or inhabitants are counted, but none of these uncertainties are large enough to influence which of the maps we show is the correct answer.\n\n[1]  [UN World Population Prospects 2024](https:\u002F\u002Fpopulation.un.org\u002Fwpp\u002FDownload\u002FStandard\u002FMostUsed\u002F)  \n[2]  [Gapminder’s PINcode of the world](https:\u002F\u002Fdocs.google.com\u002Fspreadsheets\u002Fd\u002F16k9a4IRSSFoIaTzbvurCPtFMfWqN8GCyb5_xC9XUCCk\u002Fedit#gid=0)","Many people who have strong opinions about globalization, natural resources or population growth still fail to keep track of where people live on the world map. People don’t realize that most things are happening in Asia. \n\nThe easiest way to remember where people live is the PINcode of the world: 1 1 1 5. These numbers help you remember from left to right, how many billions live in each of the four regions. Memorizing this code will help you guess correctly about lots of global proportions, like where most Internet users come from and where most shoes are bought. The correct answer is often Asia, because that’s where most people live. \n\nThe four regions used in these maps are roughly the same size, but the number of people in Asia is about 5 billion, compared to around 1 billion in each of the other regions. \n\nThis PINcode will change in the future as population sizes are shifting. In 2025 we predict that you will have to learn the new PINcode 1125, as Africa's population will exceed 1.5 billion, which we will round to 2 billion on our simplified map.   \n\n### Why is it a problem that people are wrong about this?\nWe have been so used to North America and Europe being at the center of global growth and innovation that it can be easy to miss the fact that Asia and Africa and growing and progressing all the time and will likely be where the global markets of the future are focused.\n\n### Why are people wrong about this?\nMost people are wrong about this, probably because of the media images they see. Those who wrongly guessed there are 2 billion people living in Africa have probably seen images of crowded African cities. They don’t realize that many rural areas in Africa are sparsely populated. Those who think the Americas have 2 billion people, probably watch lots of media from the US, a country that is talked a lot about, but with a population that is only 4.3% of the world population. \n\n### What are the actual populations of each region?\nThe numbers on the maps have been rounded. The actual numbers for 2022 from left to right are: \nThe Americas: 1.0 billion\nAfrica: 1.4 billion\nEurope: 0.85 billion\nAsia: 4.7 billion\n","You have too many Americans in your head","You have too many Africans in your head"]
