Asia is the largest part of the world on our planet. Asia's population is characterized by ethnic diversity, extremely high growth rates and the largest population in the world. Find out more about the residents of the region later in the article.
Geography
Asia is most of the continent of Eurasia. Among all parts of the world, it covers the largest territory, with an area of 44.5 million square kilometers. It is the largest developing region in the entire world, occupying about 30% of the earth's land area.
The main territory is located in the northern and eastern hemispheres, some Asian islands are located in the southern hemisphere. Due to its significant size, the region has almost all types of climate - from equatorial in the south to arctic in the north.
From the north, east and south, Asia is washed by the Arctic, Pacific and Indian oceans. The waters of the Atlantic Ocean touch this part of the world through the seas (Black, Aegean, Marmara, Azov) in the southwest. In the west there is a conditional land border with Europe (along the Ural Mountains, the Manych and Kuma rivers). Numerous islands are located in the Pacific and Indian oceans.
Based on physical and geographical features, the region is divided into North, East, South, West, Central, South-East and South-West Asia. According to the UN - to East, Central, West, Southeast and South Asia. However, there are other classifications.
Asia's population is extremely diverse and has record numbers. More than one thousand different peoples and nationalities live within its borders.
Political map of Overseas Asia
In many sources you can find the concept of “Foreign Asia”. It arose back in Soviet times and was firmly entrenched in Russian geography. Now the term is used to refer to countries that are not part of the CIS. IN Overseas Asia There are four subregions: South, East, South-West and South-East Asia.
The political map of the region has changed many times, mainly due to wars and colonial conquests. For a long time, Jordan, India, Pakistan, Israel, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and other countries were controlled by Great Britain. The territories of Indochina were Indonesia belonged to the Netherlands, the Philippines to the USA, etc. After the end of World War II, the process of decolonization began in this part of the world. In 1984, Brunei became the last country to free itself from its colonizer, Great Britain.
The region currently consists of 39 sovereign states. Most of them are republics (China, Syria, Israel, Pakistan, etc.). 13 countries have a monarchical system. Moreover, five of them (Brunei, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE) are absolute, the other nine are constitutional monarchies. In Brunei and Saudi Arabia, the ruler of the state is also the head of the church.
Population of Asia: general information
There are approximately 7 billion people living on Earth, and 60% of them are from the Asian region. Asia's population is 4.2 billion. In terms of quantity, India and China lead. Their inhabitants alone make up 40% of all humanity. Indonesia, the Philippines, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Japan have high numbers.
The total of Asia is 87 people. per one sq. km. Of course, in different countries numbers may vary significantly. For example, in Mongolia there are only 2 people per square kilometer, and in Singapore - 7,607. In terms of density, Singapore ranks second in the world and first among Asian countries.
Many countries, such as Thailand, Korea, Vietnam, Myanmar, are home to several tens of millions of people. The population of Asian countries is growing extremely quickly, in some countries there is even a situation population explosion. The highest growth rate is observed in South-West Asia (Palestine, Oman, Afghanistan, Jordan). The lowest indicators are in East Asia, especially China and Japan (due to an active demographic policy).
Ethnic composition
The population of overseas Asia is characterized by extreme diversity. More than a thousand ethnic groups speak five hundred different languages. About 107 nations number several million people. The most numerous peoples are the Chinese, Bengalis, Japanese and Hindustani. After them come Telugus, Vietnamese, Punjabis, Koreans, Javanese.
The most diverse ethnic composition is observed in India. The country is home to more than 500 nations and tribal groups, making it the most diverse not only in Asia but also in the world. Ethnic diversity is also represented in Afghanistan, Iraq, the Philippines, and Indonesia. Bangladesh and Japan have the most homogeneous composition.
The peoples that make up the population of Asia are not limited to the boundaries of one state. Bengalis, for example, live in India and Bangladesh. Approximately 40 million ethnic Chinese inhabit Southeast Asia. The Kurds do not have their own country; they live in Syria, Turkey, and Iraq.
Religion
Three world religions arose in Asia: Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. The population of Overseas Asia that adheres to Islam is 20%. These are mainly residents of Western and Southwestern Asia. In many countries, Islam is the state religion. A large number of Muslims are also found in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Indonesia.
Buddhism and its branches are widespread in the southern, eastern and southeastern parts of the region. There are approximately 550 million adherents of this religion in Asia. There are quite a few supporters of Christianity in this part of the world. It is practiced in Cyprus, the Philippines, Lebanon and Indonesia.
Among others, Confucianism is widespread in China, and Shintoism is widespread in Japan. Adherents of Hinduism live mainly in India, Nepal, and Bangladesh. The main religion of Israel is Judaism.
Conclusion
There are 39 independent states in Asia. In terms of population and color, Foreign Asia is not inferior to any region modern world. The population of Asian countries is striking in its ethnic diversity. Hundreds of peoples live here, each of which has its own culture, language and religion.
Population: size, reproduction, ethnic and religious composition, location, urbanization.
In terms of population, foreign Asia ranks uncompetitively first among all major regions of the world: its share in the world population reaches 60%. This is explained by Most countries in the region are still in the second stage of demographic transition a, that is, at the stage of the demographic explosion, although in the 90s. he was clearly on the decline.
Similar demographic situation complicates many of the economic, social and environmental problems of overseas Asia. In addition, according to forecasts, by 2025 the region's population should increase to 4.6 billion people.
This general conclusion does not exclude the existence of significant differences between individual subregions. In East Asian countries, demographic policies have already led to a significant reduction in the birth rate and natural population growth. In Southeast Asia, the rate of such growth also began to gradually decrease. In South Asia, this decline is much slower. And South-West Asia remains at the epicenter of a population explosion, with some of its countries being among the “record-breaking countries”. This is largely due to the fact that the Arab countries of this subregion, professing Islam, do not pursue a demographic policy at all.
Ethnic composition The population of foreign Asia is extremely complex: ethnographers believe that more than 1 thousand peoples live here, belonging to a wide variety of linguistic families and groups. (Task 4.) Among them there are very large and very small peoples scattered throughout the mountains. Most countries are multinational
Example. There are more than 150 peoples each in India and Indonesia, almost 100 in the Philippines, about 60 in China and Vietnam, and more than 30 in Iran, Afghanistan, Myanmar, and Thailand.
Foreign Asia is the birthplace of all three world religions, as well as many major national and regional religions, which for many centuries and even millennia have had an enormous influence on politics, economics, spiritual culture, population reproduction, and customs of peoples.
In Muslim countries, religion often strictly regulates the rights and responsibilities of men and women in society and the family (separate education in schools and universities, separate work, separate premises in public places and private houses), influences marriage relations (encouraging large families, allowing polygamy, wedding rituals), on the daily routine (daily five-time prayer - namaz, Friday as a day off), on the diet (Muslim fast - Ramadan, Eid al-Adha, ban on alcohol and pork), on clothing (wearing a woman's veil), on judicial system (Sharia court), the nature of external migrations. In most Muslim countries in Asia, Islam is declared the state religion; in Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan this is reflected in the official names of the countries.
The complexity of the ethnic and religious composition of a number of Asian countries leads to the emergence of many interethnic and religious conflicts. They are especially strong in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and the Philippines. Most of these conflicts have their roots in colonial and semi-colonial times, and they usually proceed under the slogans of separatism.
Example. The Kurds are a people numbering about 20 million people. But historically, they ended up as part of Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria. For a long time now, the leaders of the Kudr national movement have been seeking, including by armed means, the creation of an independent state of Kyrdistan.
The distribution of the population in the region is particularly uneven. Here at one pole there are very densely populated coastal plains, valleys and river deltas, at the other there are extremely sparsely populated deserts and semi-deserts, highlands, and tropical forests.
Example. Bangladesh ranks 87th among countries in the world in terms of area and 7th in terms of population. The average population density in this low-lying country has already reached 1000 people per 1 km 2. In some areas it is 2000 people per 1 km 2! And in Mongolia, one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world, which is almost three times larger in area than France, there are an average of 3 people per 2 km2.
International migrations have a certain influence on the distribution of the population in the region.
This applies to the greatest extent to the oil-producing countries of the Persian Gulf, which, as you already know, have become one of the world's main centers for attracting labor resources. The total number of immigrants from the countries of South and Southeast Asia, as well as North Africa, is more than 10 million people. Almost half of them find work in the largest of these countries - Saudi Arabia, about 1 million are employed in Kuwait.
The main areas of activity of labor migrants are the oil industry, construction, transport, and services. In Saudi Arabia, migrant workers make up 60% of all employees, in Kuwait 60%, and in the UAE even 90%.
But emigration from foreign Asian countries to other regions is also significant. These include Kurds who travel to Europe legally and illegally, and “brain drain”, for example from India and the Philippines.
But the main impact on population distribution is the process of urbanization, taking the form of an “urban explosion.” Despite the fact that, in terms of the share of urban population, the vast majority of countries in the region under consideration belong to the category of medium-urbanized, with a very large population absolute indicators also turn out to be very high.
Example. Of the 3.15 billion total urban residents in the world, almost 1.5 billion live in overseas Asia. China and India rank first and second respectively in the world in terms of the number of urban residents. Of the 21 “super cities” in the world, 12 are located in foreign Asia.
With a huge variety of historical, cultural and natural conditions Asian cities, often the oldest in the world, are also very diverse. Specific features of the external appearance are characteristic of the Arab cities of South-West Asia, the cities of India, China, and Japan. And yet, in geographical literature a collective image of an eastern (Asian) city has developed.
Usually it is characterized by a clear division into old and new parts. The busiest place in the old city is the bazaar with adjacent shopping streets and quarters of artisans who immediately sell their products. Barbers and scribes work in the open air, and peddlers scurry about. The new urban part is dominated by modern multi-storey buildings.
For rural settlement of the region, the village form is most typical. Among the Mongols, Afghans, Bedouin Arabs (from the word “badu” - desert) and other peoples who still maintain a nomadic way of life, the main type of dwelling is a collapsible yurt or tent.
The prospects for the socio-economic development of overseas Asia are largely related to the prospects for urbanization and growth of its cities.
Asia is called a more urbanized continent compared to others; only thanks to China and India, about half of the Earth's citizens are concentrated here. In the city-state of Singapore, the proportion of the urban population is 100%, in Israel - 91%, in South Korea– 82. Levels of urbanization are still very low in the greatest countries of the world – China (no more than 50%) and India (27%). Villages remained the predominant form of settlement in their vast expanses. The share of the urban population in Vietnam is only 19%, Laos and Cambodia - 21%. Nepal – 11%, Bhutan – 6%.
Life expectancy in Afghanistan is 45 years, in Bhutan, Laos, and Cambodia - 30 years. (Appendix 2: slides 17,18).
The ten largest agglomerations in the world include 5 Asian ones - Tokyo, Bombay, Kolkata, Seoul. Chinese megalopolises are distinguished by the fact that they do not have the “belt of poverty” characteristic of the Third World. (Appendix 2: slide 19).
Note to students:
Record-breaking countries in Asia:
- In terms of population - China (1.2 billion people).
- In terms of birth rates - Afghanistan, Cambodia, Yemen (43%).
- In terms of life expectancy - Japan (82 years).
- The share of men in the population is Qatar (66%).
- By population density - Macau (30,000 people per 1 sq km).
Asia is the largest and most populated continent on Earth, located in the northern and eastern hemispheres. Asia accounts for almost 30% of total area landmass of the Earth, and about 60% of the total population of the planet live on its territory. Today, the highest birth rates are recorded in Asian countries; the population of Asia has almost quadrupled during the 20th century.
Asia is located in the eastern part of the large continent of Eurasia (occupying approximately 4/5 of the total area of this continent). Asia is washed by the Pacific Ocean in the east, the Indian Ocean in the south, and the Arctic Ocean in the north. In total, there are over fifty countries and dependent territories in Asia. Estimates based on recent fertility trends in Asia place the population of Asia at 4,426,683,000 as of 2016. For comparison, the continent's population over different periods is shown below:
Population of Asia by year
Data source: UN, PopulationData.net.
The data above does not include the population of Russia, although Russia is located in both Asia and Europe, and approximately 40 million Russians live in Asia - east of the Ural Mountains.
The population of Asia compared to the population of other continents
As written above, Asia is the most populated continent on the planet. In terms of population, Asia is followed by Africa, which is the second largest and most populous continent in the world (Africa's population in 2016 is estimated at 1.069 billion people, about 15% of total number world population).
The third most populous continent is the European continent, with a 2016 estimated population of 741.2 million people, about 11% of the world's total population.
Population growth in Asia
Asia has a very high population growth - as has already been written, over the last century the population of Asia has quadrupled. Asia's resource wealth and great ecological and biological diversity will support this growth further.
Asia's population is expected to continue to grow for a long time, putting a strain on the continent's resources. Current estimates suggest that population growth will continue in all Asian countries except Japan and Kazakhstan until 2050. During this time, some countries, including Afghanistan, Nepal, and Pakistan, will double their populations. Other countries, including India, Vietnam, and Malaysia, will also see very strong growth.
Population of Asian countries
The two most populous countries in Asia are China and India. On this moment China is the most populous country in the world. China's population is about 32% of the total population of Asia, for India the same figure is about 29%. It is estimated that India's population will surpass China's by 2028, by which time each country will have a population of about 1.45 billion.
The most sparsely populated country in Asia is the Maldives, which is also one of the smallest countries in the world. The next sparsely populated Asian country after the Maldives is Brunei.

The video lesson is dedicated to the topic “Population of Overseas Asia”. This lesson will help you develop knowledge about the population of the region and identify patterns in the formation of the population of Foreign Asia. The teacher will tell you about the main characteristics of the Asian population, giving examples of the largest nations, cities, and countries.
Topic: Foreign Asia
Lesson: Population of Overseas Asia
The population of Asia exceeds 4 billion people. Many countries in the region are at the stage of a “demographic explosion”.
All countries in the region, with the exception of Japan and some countries in transition, belong to traditional type population reproduction. Moreover, many of them are in a state of population explosion. Some countries are combating this phenomenon by demographic policy(India, China), but most countries do not pursue such a policy; rapid population growth and rejuvenation continue. At the current rate of population growth, countries in foreign Asia are experiencing food, social and other difficulties. Among Asian subregions, East Asia is the furthest away from the peak of its population explosion. Currently, the highest rates of population growth are characteristic of the countries of South-West Asia. For example, in Yemen there is an average of almost 5 children per woman.
The ethnic composition of the Asian population is also extremely complex: more than 1 thousand peoples live here - from small ethnic groups numbering several hundred people to the largest peoples in the world.
The largest nations of foreign Asia by population (more than 100 million people):
1. Chinese.
2. Hindustani.
3. Bengalis.
4. Japanese.
The peoples of foreign Asia belong to approximately 15 language families. Such linguistic diversity is not found in any other major region on the planet.
The largest language families foreign Asia by population:
1. Sino-Tibetan.
2. Indo-European.
3. Austronesian.
4. Dravidian.
5. Austroasiatic.
The most ethnolinguistically complex countries are: India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia. India and Indonesia are considered the most multinational countries in the world. East and South-West Asia, with the exception of Iran and Afghanistan, is characterized by a more homogeneous National composition. The complex composition of the population in many parts of the region leads to acute ethnic conflicts.
Foreign Asia is the birthplace of all major religions; all three world religions originated here: Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam.
Christianity: Philippines, Georgia, Armenia, a significant proportion of Christians in Kazakhstan, Japan, Lebanon.
Buddhism: Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Bhutan, Mongolia.
Islam: Southwest Asia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh.
Among other national religions, it is necessary to note Confucianism (China), Taoism, Shintoism. In many countries, interethnic contradictions are based precisely on religious grounds.
Rice. 2. Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem ()
The population of foreign Asia is unevenly distributed: population density ranges from 1 to 1200 people. per 1 sq. km. In Bangladesh, the average population density is 1100 people. per 1 sq. km. In some cities of foreign Asia (Manila, Mumbai, Dali) the population density exceeds 10,000 people. per 1 sq. km! At the same time, the population density in Mongolia is less than 2 people. per 1 sq. km.
By population density, national, religious composition countries in the region are influenced by migration. The main centers of immigration were the Gulf countries, Singapore, big cities China, and emigration - the Philippines, Pakistan, Uzbekistan.
The growth rate of the region's urban population is very high. But, despite this, in terms of urbanization level (less than 45%), Foreign Asia ranks penultimate (before Africa) among the regions of the world. China and India lead in the total number of urban and rural residents, but in percentage terms the level of urbanization in these countries is low.
The largest cities in foreign Asia by population:
2. Shanghai.
3. Mumbai.
4. Jakarta.
6. Manila.
9. Istanbul.
10. Manila.
For rural settlement, the village form is most typical.

The population of Asia exceeds 4 billion people. Many countries are re-gi-o-na at the stage of “de-mo-gra-fi-che-explosion”.
2. Fertility and mortality (population reproduction)
All countries are re-gi-o-na, with the exception of Japan and some countries located on the trans-transition stage, from the tra-di-tsi-on-no-mu type of reproduction of the production of the village. At the same time, many of them are in the midst of a de-mo-grafi-che-explosion. Some countries are struggling with this phenomenon, pro-de-mo-gra-fi-che-che-li-ti-ku (India, China ), but most countries do not produce such rapid growth of the population and its rejuvenation for a long time. yut-xia. At the current rate of growth, the countries of overseas Asia are pro-free, social -al-nye and others for-work-not-nium. Among the sub-regions of Asia, East Asia has moved further away from the peak of the de-mo-gra-fi-che-explosion. At the present time, the highest rates of growth in rural areas are typical for the countries of South-West Asia. For example, in Yemen, on average, there are almost 5 children per woman.
3. National composition
The ethnic composition of the Asian village is also exceptionally complex: more than 1 thousand people live here - from small ethnic groups, numbering several hundred people, to the largest ethnic groups peace.
The largest nations abroad in Asia in terms of number per village (more than 100 million people):
1. Ki-tai-tsi.
2. Khin-dustan-tsy.
3. Ben-gal-tsy.
4. Japanese.
The peoples of overseas Asia number about 15 language families. There is no such ling-vi-sti-che-diversity-but-ob-ra-zia in any other large re-gi-one of the planet.
The largest language families in foreign Asia in terms of number in the village:
1. Si-no-ti-bet-skaya.
2. In-do-European.
3. Au-stro-ne-ziy-skaya.
4. Dravi-diy-skaya.
5. Av-st-ro-azi-at-skaya.
The most complex countries in the eth-no-lingu-vi-sti-che-skom: India, Sri Lanka, India. India and India consider themselves to be many countries in the world. In East and South-West Asia, with the exception of Iran and Af-ga-ni-sta-na, kha-rak-te-ren is more than one native na-tsi-o-nal composition. The complex composition of the village in many parts of the region leads to acute inter-national conflicts -there.
4. Religious composition
Trans-Russian Asia is the birthplace of all the largest religions, all three world religions were born here: Christianity -an-stvo, Buddhism, Muslim-stvo.
Christianity: Fi-lip-pi-ny, Georgia, Ar-men-nia, a significant share of Christians in Ka-zakh-stan, Japan, Li-vane.
Buddhism: Ta-i-land, Laos, Kam-bo-ja, Vietnam, Myanmar, Bhutan, Mon-go-lia.
Islam: Southwest Asia, In-do-ne-zia, Ma-lay-zia, Ban-gla-desh.
Among other na-tsi-o-nal-nyh religions, it is necessary to note Kon-fu-tsi-an-stvo (China), Taoism, Sin -ism. In many countries, inter-ethnic pro-ti-vo-re-chiyas are based precisely on re-li-gi-oz-soil.
Rice. 2. Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Ieru-sa-li-me (Is-toch-nik)
5. Population placement and migration
The distribution of villages across the Russian Federation is uneven: the density of the village ranges from 1 to 1200 people per 1 sq. km. In Ban-gla-desh, the average density of the village is 1,100 people. per 1 sq. km. In some cities in overseas Asia (Ma-ni-la, Mum-bai, Dali), the population density exceeds 10 000 people per 1 sq. km! At the same time, the population density in Mongolia is less than 2 people. per 1 sq. km.
The density of the village, the national, re-li-gi-oz-ny composition of the countries of the re-gi-o-is influenced by -i-nie mi-gra-tion. The main centers of im-mi-gra-tions were the countries of Persia, Sin-ga-pur, large cities of China, and emi-gra-tions - Fi-lip-pi-ny, Pa-ki-stan, Uz-be-ki-stan.
6. Urban and rural population
The growth rate of the city's re-gi-o-na is very high. But, despite this, in terms of the level of ur-ba-ni-za-tion (less than 45%) Trans-Russian Asia is in the second-last position (before Africa) ) place among the re-gi-o-novs of the world. China and India are the same in terms of the total number of urban and rural residents, but as a percentage of The level of ur-ba-ni-za-tion in these countries is low.
The largest cities in overseas Asia in terms of number per village:
2. Shan-hai.
3. Mum-bai.
4. Ja-kar-ta.
