→ The densely populated areas are South and South-East Asia, Europe and North-Eastern North America. 
→ The sparsely populated areas are high latitude areas, tropical deserts, high mountains and areas of equatorial forests. 
→ Almost three-quarters of the world's people live in two continents Asia and Africa. 
→ Sixty per cent of the uneven distribution of people stay in just 10 countries. All of them have more than a 100 million people.
