World Population (World Bank)

China and India have over a billion people each, while small island nations have just thousands. This dataset shows how many people live in every country, year by year, going back to 1960. You can see which countries are growing fast, which are shrinking, and how populations have changed over decades. It's the kind of data you'd use if you wanted to compare population trends between countries or understand how global demographics have shifted.
