== List of countries and dependencies by population ==

The list of countries and dependencies by population provides an overview of the population of the world's countries and their dependent territories. Population figures are based on estimates and projections by the United Nations and other authoritative sources. This list is useful for understanding the demographic distribution of the global population.

Methodology[edit]

Population estimates are typically derived from national censuses, which are conducted at regular intervals. In between censuses, population figures are updated using demographic techniques that account for births, deaths, and migration. The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) is one of the primary sources for global population data.
