Population geography studies where people live and why, examining the distribution, density, growth, and movement of human populations across Earth. Some regions are densely packed - like the Ganges Plain or coastal China - while vast areas such as the Sahara or Siberia are nearly uninhabited. Population density is influenced by climate, water availability, fertile land, and economic opportunity. Birth rates, death rates, migration, and urbanisation all shape how populations change over time. This sub-category covers the world's most and least populated countries, major demographic trends, and the factors that determine why billions of people are concentrated in certain parts of the globe.
