Top 10 Most Populated Least Developed Countries (LDCs) 1960-2018

This video features the top 10 most populated least developed countries (LDCs) from 1960 to 2018.

The term “total population” is coined by World Bank based on the de facto definition of population, which counts all residents regardless of legal status or citizenship. The population values shown are estimates of the midyear population of these countries.

Population estimates are usually based on national population censuses. Estimates for the years before and after the census are interpolations or extrapolations based on demographic models. Some of the important building blocks of a comprehensive demographic model include mortality rate, fertility rate and migration rate of the country.

Note that these countries/economies/territories are classified by the United Nations as least developed countries based on their scores on human assets index (HAI), economic vulnerability index (EVI) and their income per capita level (GNI per capita) for the purpose of statistical analysis. In addition to that, the resulting classification by no means implies political independence nor represents the political or any other affiliation of the countries or entities in question.

Objectives of This Video:

1) To find out the top 10 largest least developed countries in the world by population from 1960 to 2018.
2) To visually compare the potential market size of world’s least developed countries from the perspective of population count over the years.

Key Takeaways from This Video:

1) Bangladesh, the largest least developed country (LDC) by population size in 2018, makes up about 2.13% of the world total population that year.
2) The aggregate population of the world’s 10 most populated least developed countries has exploded by 310% from 1960 to 2018 while the global population has increased by just 151% over the same period.
3) As of 2018, the top 10 largest LDCs by population together constitute 64.04% of the total population of all LDCs or a significant 8.54% of the global population.
4) For the past 10 years, the top 10 most populated LDCs have collectively skyrocketed by 2.213% annually on average, which is about 1.88 times faster than the global average of 1.177%.
Some of the most populous least developed countries (LDCs) covered: Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Congo, Dem. Rep., Tanzania, Myanmar, Uganda, Sudan, Afghanistan, Angola, Mozambique, Yemen, Rep., Nepal, Madagascar, Niger and Burkina Faso.

This video is part of the video series called “Demographic and Social Statistics: Population” created to examine and compare the #population count of all countries in the world. This helps determine the potential market size, economic growth prospect, sustainability of natural resources and social infrastructure availability in the country.

Questions Worth Asking:

1) Which least developed country (#LDC) do you think has achieved the highest population growth rate between 1960 and 2018?
2) Do you think that this rate of population growth is even #sustainable for the entire human race and the equally, if not more, important biosphere?
3) Can you imagine that the world population will quickly grow to over 11.2 billion at the end of the century as predicted by the United Nations Population Division? What impact could it have on your life if it were to become a reality?

Let me know what your thoughts are for each of the questions mentioned above.
