Most Populated Countries

As time goes by, the world's population grows and grows. The population of the human-race now exceeds 7 billion, and is still on the rise! We are now becoming increasingly larger consumers and the population doesn't seem to be slowing-down any time soon.

Here is the list of the top 10 most populated countries in theworld.

1. China

With a massive 1.34 billion, China is the most populated country in the world, with around 19% of the whole world's population living there. China's population has boomed in the last 60 years, because believe it or not, China's population was only 563 million in 1950.

China introduced the one-child policy to help manage population, and is expected to reach a peak at around 2030, before slowly descending.
