World Population Statistics [sorted by Country]
[Stats were last updated 26-June-2003]

These are straight-line projections calculated using populations growth rates from 1995-2000. All population stats are in millions [i.e. 1.3 = 1,300,000] and only selected countries are listed. These projections do not forcast the full impact of AIDS and events like the Congo Civil War and outbreaks of disease. Other population statistics are available at mongabay stats.
