In 1989, the overall world populationwas more or less 5.162 billion, of
which, 3.106 billion, was in Asia.Asias population increases at the
same rate as that of the world, which

population will double every 44 years:by the year 2033, the 5.162 billion
total world population will be 10.324billion, and Asias 3.106 billion will be6.212 billion.

continents, migration in Asias portion
of the worlds population is more orless constant.

Asian countries is from thewidespread belief that people grow in
stature the more children they have.
In agricultural areas, many childrenare considered an asset since they

all parts of Asia, each square

parts of the continent are uninhabited.
People flock to the cities for survival.(food, clothing, money, medicines, and
other human needs)
