Rural regions account for 43 percent of the world’s population – estimated to be just over 8 billion, at the last count – and if the calculations in this new study are correct then the number of unaccounted-for people could potentially stretch into the billions.(…)
“We were surprised to find that the actual population living in rural areas is much higher than the global population data indicates – depending on the dataset, rural populations have been underestimated by between 53 percent to 84 percent over the period studied.”(…)
ad: “Not everyone is convinced. Scientists who weren’t involved in the study told Chris Stokel-Walker at New Scientist that improvements in satellite imagery and the quality of data collecting in some countries would make these discrepancies smaller.”(…)
Millennials are still the larger demographic (ever) by about 3.5 million people.
What about worldwide? In UK, Milenials are also leading. But allegedly, zoomers are leading elsewhere.
China has 400 million “Millennials” compared to 280 million “Gen Z”. I put quotation marks around those terms because they do not use those terms locally. Their “Millennial” is technically two categories combined (Post 80’s and Post 90’s). Their Post-90 gen would be equivalent to mid-late millennial and zillennial.
I’ve done a bit of research into how other countries categorize their generations. They don’t all perfectly overlap age-wise. But, if we’re looking at people born around the late 80’s to mid 90’s, they all follow similar trends and behaviors, including the decline in sexual activity and birth rates. In the East, you also have Vietnam’s “Millennial”, 9X, and Taiwan’s, the Strawberry Generation.
