The line graph shows the size of the global population from 1400 to 2000, and the pie charts show the global population by region in 1900 and 2000, Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

These graphs give information about the growth of the global population from 1400 to 2000 and its distribution over different continents at the beginning of the 20th the 21st centuries. Overall, the world population had rose sharply from less than 500 million in the 1400s to 6 billion in 2000, a growth of 12 times over 600 years. The increase was more dramatic after 1800, and in the 1700s only, there was a slight decline (1. 2 billion to 0. 9 billion). The pie charts show that in both 1900 and 2000, Asia accounted for the largest share (more than half) of the world population, followed by Europe. But both continents saw a decline in their percentage of the world population, the former from 60% to 54% and the latter from 24% to 14%. On the other hand, the proportion of the population in Africa and Latin America grew considerably from 4. 5% to 13% and from 3% to 8% respectively. However, North America showed no change, remaining constant at 5% of the world population. The percentage in other areas rose by 2%.
