1.Popclocks several update themselves automatically
like www-popexpo.ined.fr/eMain.html
Helen N says this a good site and gives you the population when you were
born (year) plus lots more.
An alternative www.ibiblio.org/lunarbin/worldpop |
2. Video Nation Human beings are what population studies are about.
Why not try www.bbc.co.uk/videonation
and I know of at least one testimony about asylum seekers. Try refugee or
migration in the search engine. You will need a broadband connection.

3. The US Census has good data as well as a world population clock. http://www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html
This US Census Bureau http://www.census.gov is full of world and national population statistics and maps. US coverage is obviously the most comprehensive, but there are also listings for other International Statistics Agencies. Stuart Hitch says: http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/idbnew.html This is a fantastic source of population pyramid data for just about anywhere in the world and is particularly useful when trying to look at predictions (e.g. as a result of the One Child Policy in China)! |
