Analysis
Denmark recorded 5.86 million people for population by world region in 2100.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 0.1% on the previous year and down 1.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, population by world region in Denmark peaked at 6.14 million people in 2042 and was at its lowest, 400,000 people, in 1000.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
