According to the United Nations sources, world
population in mid-1985 was, 5,290 million, an increase
of 90 million in one year. More than half of the total live
in Asia (56,9 per cent). Different countries are at
different stages in a demographic transition from the
stability provided by a combination of high birth rate
and high death rate to that provided by a combination
of low birth rate and low death rate. Their recent
population history and current trend of growth, the
age-structure of their population, and consequently
their population potential for the near future are all
widely different. Most rapid growth is in Africa with
rates of over 3 per cent in some countries. In most
European countries the rate is less than 1 per cent.
