Population:

The list below provides a variety of population-related links. Some of these are very specific, others are more general. The specialist links usually use the term DEMOGRAPHY when talking about population.

One of the best sites to start is the excellent US Census site. This not only has excellent free information from the USA census but also very detailed data on every other country. This is held in the IDB section [International Data Base]. The population pyramids are excellent - give them a try.
