Population's composition, structure and dynamics are strongly interrelated with the society they are part of. In the past, the demography of societies was more isolated, because populations were not so interconnected. Nowadays, however, there is a permanent and greater interdependence among the demographic phenomena affecting societies, which is associated with emerging globalization. This article aims to demonstrate, from the perspective of globalization, the changes that demographic variables are undergoing in the various world's continents and regions. A descriptive and explanatory approach is taken.

Palabras llave : world's population; demography; globalization.
