Answer: East Asia's population is projected to remain larger than South Asia's for the rest of this century.
Step-by-step explanation:
China now has more people living in cities than in rural areas: In 2012, the population of people living in urban areas surpassed that of people living in rural areas.
East Asia's population is projected to represent only 17% of the world population by 2050 at 1,617,342,069 while South Asia's population is expected to grow to 2,396,166,661 in the same year.
The eastern North American population is about a quarter of the 747,182,751 of the population of Europe.
The world's three largest population clusters are all located on the Eurasian landmass: Combined, East Asia, South Asia, and Europe has about 3.4 Billion people, a large majority of the world's population.
Europe's population is predominantly urban: As early as the 1950s, more than 50% of the population of Europe were living in urban cities.
