ABSTRACT
Professor Maurice Caudel's calculations of the population of the globe are somewhat lower than those of other writers. In the year 1913 the increase in the world's population amounted to 0.9 per cent, but then came the World War, which caused great changes. In most European countries the population declined or was stationary, but whilst the population of Europe remained the same or was reduced, the increase of population continued, unaffected by the war, in other continents. Whereas the total population of the world in 1925 was 62 millions greater than in 1924, yet Europe in 1925 had only reached the figure of 1914. According to the calculation the population of the world has increased since 1913 by 5 per cent on the average, but the population of Europe, as already mentioned, by only a little over 1 per cent.
