The continent that has the largest population in the present will continue to be on the first place in the year of 2050 as well. That continent is Asia. By 2050, Asia is expected to have around 54% of the global population, thus over half of it. It has to be noticed though that the percentage in the global population of Asia is actually projected to decrease from the current 60%. Despite the decrease of those 6% in the total global population, Asia still remains far ahead of any other continent in 2050, and will for be for the foreseeable future.
