Consider the question. Six of the Earth's seven continents are permanently inhabited on a large scale. Asia is the most populous continent, with its 4.54 billion inhabitants accounting for 60 % of the world population. The world's two most populated countries, China and India, together constitute about 37 % of the world's population. Africa is the second most populated continent, with around 1.28 billion people, or 16 % of the world's population. Europe's 742 million people make up 10 % of the world's population as of 2018, while the Latin American and Caribbean regions are home to around 651 million (9 %). Northern America, primarily consisting of the United States and Canada, has a population of around 363 million (5 %), and Oceania, the least-populated region, has about 41 million inhabitants (0.5 %). Though it is not permanently inhabited by any fixed population, Antarctica has a small, fluctuating international population based mainly in polar science stations. This population tends to rise in the summer months and decrease significantly in winter, as visiting researchers return to their home countries.
