Understanding the population of the world is one of the most important indicators for studying demographics, economics, and global development. On this page, you will find a live ranking of all countries by population, updated regularly to reflect the latest statistics.

The world’s population continues to grow, but at different rates depending on each country. Some nations, such as China and India, remain at the top of the list with billions of people, while smaller countries and island states have populations of just a few thousand. This diversity makes global demographic studies both fascinating and essential.

Through the ranking module above, you can instantly view the largest and smallest countries by population in 2025. The data is presented clearly to allow quick comparisons between nations. Each entry is linked to a dedicated page about the country, where you will find detailed information including its population growth, annual demographic changes, capital city, flag, and other useful facts.

Population trends are more than just numbers. They reflect migration, birth and death rates, urbanization, and economic opportunities.

Tracking these changes helps researchers, students, and readers understand how the world is evolving.
